Abstract
A time delay for the open-shell Na photoemission process is investigated using the Breit-Pauli -matrix methodology. The results show dramatic variations with the energy and angle in the vicinity of the Cooper minimum owing to both relativistic dynamics and angular momentum geometry effects.
