The primary motivation of this paper is to provide accurate data for the photoionization of the CH radical, including absolute total photoionization cross section, partial cross sections and photo electron angular distribution. In addition,the near threshold features in the photoionization curve (which are absent in previous studies) are produced with high precision. A multichannel wavefunction based on R-matrix approach, which uses the configuration interaction (CI) method to describe electronic correlation, is carried out in the present calculations. A set of B-spline orbitals is employed to represent the accurate continuum. The distinctive feature of the present calculations allows us to generate a more accurate description of the bound and continuum states than those employed before. Total photoionization cross sections from the ground state of CH radicals and partial cross sections corresponding to 1{pi}, 3{sigma}, and 2{sigma} states of CH+ ions are presented for photon energies ranging from threshold to 80eV. Extensive resonance structures, which are absent in previous studies, near the ionization threshold, are observed for the first time. The cross-section dataset obtained from the present calculations is expected to be sufficiently accurate and comprehensive for most current modeling applications involving the photon and CH radicals scattering system.
