Photodetachment studies on few-electron atomic negative ions. [[approx] 2 eV]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6770233

A crossed laser-negative ion beams apparatus, situated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been used for energy and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopic measurements following photodetachment. In the current grant period measurements of the cross sections for photodetaching an electron from the Li[sup [minus]] ion were finished. Measurements of the [sigma](B[sup [minus]])/[sigma](Li[sup [minus]]) ratio, with a goal of determining photodetachment cross section for B[sup [minus]], were started. An investigation of the photodetachment of the metastable ion Be[sup [minus]] also began. Preliminary data on the electron affinity, asymmetry parameter and cross section associated with the photodetachment of Be[sup [minus]] at a photon energy of 2.076 eV is reported.
