The resonant photoelectron spectroscopy (ResPes) of new and aged δ-Pu(Ga) is reassessed by using the small oxygen contaminant peaks as an independent and quantitative check upon conventional cross-photon-energy normalization. Good agreement is found between the measured oxygen intensities and the atomic cross section calculations. Consistent with earlier analyses, the radiation induced damage in the aged samples is found to compress and sharpen the 5f peaks. This is associated with increased localization of the 5f bands, corresponding to the 5f density of states calculations that show a narrowing of 5f bandwidth with cluster size diminishment.
