The line contour of the autoionizing resonance of 6p7p configuration in barium atoms was experimentally studied in the range of energies 48,000 cm-1 to 54,000 cm-1 with the help of a two-step ionization via intermediate states 6snp(1P1), n equals 6, 7, 8. Using various combinations of polarization of the first- and second-step laser, both linear and circular dichroism were measured in the process of ionization from an excited state.
