The photoionization (PI) of the Xe atom was investigated in the vicinity of the 5s -shell threshold by photon-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The highest resolution so far attained of 2meV enabled us to observe a new series of resonance structures in the 5s -PI cross section closely above threshold. Calculations of the partial 5s - and 5p -PI cross sections were performed taking into account many-electron correlations. These structures were related with strongly delocalized f -resonances which affect the 5s -PI cross section due to their mixing with p -resonances. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
