Until a decade ago, the only anion observed to play a prominent role in astrophysics was H–
. The bound–free transitions in H–dominate the visible opacity in stars with photospheric …

Since the signature of the ITER treaty in 2006, a new research programme targeting the
emergence of a new generation of neutral beam (NB) system for the future fusion reactor …

We combine R-matrix calculations, asymptotic relations, and comparison to available
experimental data to construct an H− photodetachment cross section reliable over a large …

Absolute total cross sections and asymmetry parameters for the photodetachment of the 4 S
o ground state of C− are reported for photon energies ranging from threshold to 6 eV. The …

To simulate photoionization and photodetachment cross sections, as well as polarizability
dispersion profiles below the ionization threshold, a discretized (pseudo) spectrum …

Negative ions are an important constituent of the spatial afterglow of atmospheric pressure
plasmas, where the fundamental plasma-substrate interactions take place that are vital for …

Absolute total, partial, and differential cross sections for the photodetachment of the oxygen
anion are reported for photon energies ranging from threshold (1.46 eV) to 5.5 eV. The total …

We demonstrate the use of high power diode laser stacks to photodetach fast hydrogen and
carbon anions and produce ground term neutral atomic beams. We achieve …

An unprecedented, greater than 50%, photodetachment rate is obtained on a H− beam in
the continuous regime. The key element of the experimental setup is a medium-finesse …

We study the time delay in the primary photoemission channel near the opening of an
additional channel and compare it with the Wigner time delay in elastic scattering of the …
