Ionization Potentials for Protactinium

In summary, ionization potential refers to the energy needed to remove an electron, resulting in the formation of an ion. It is important to study ionization potentials as they provide valuable information about an element's electronic structure and chemical properties, useful in fields like materials science and chemistry. Protactinium has an ionization potential of 5.89 eV and can be measured through methods like photoelectron spectroscopy or mass spectrometry. Factors such as atomic structure, electron configuration, and neighboring atoms or molecules can affect Protactinium's ionization potential.

I'm trying to compile the first five IP's for Protactinium.

I was able to find 1-3 on these two sites

http://www.astro.lsa.umich.edu/~cowley/ionen.htm
http://www.gordonengland.co.uk/elements/pa.htm

But am coming up with nothing for the 4th or 5th IP. Does anyone have any possible sources for 4 and 5? I checked CRC and they only have the 1st IP, ditto for NIST.
