The photoionization cross section calculation for the ground state 1s22s22p6 1S (J = 0) of Ne-like W64+ has been performed in the close-coupling approximation using the Dirac–Coulomb R-matrix method. The resonance structures are analysed and described by finding the resonance energy positions of prominent Rydberg series 2s2p6(2S)np 1P0 for W LXV ion. To calculate fine structure energy levels, multi-configuration Dirac–Fock and relativistic distorted-wave methods have been employed. Wherever possible we have compared our work with the available data. The present results will be useful for diagnostics and modeling of plasma in ITER and other fusion devices.
