Negative ions are unique quantum systems where electron correlation plays a decisive role
in determining their properties. The lack of optically allowed transitions prevents traditional …

Negative ions, which are formed when an electron is attached to a neutral system, are
unique quantum systems. The lack of a long-range Coulomb force causes the inter …

In this paper, we present an apparatus for studies into the photodetachment process of
atomic negative ions. State-selective detection of the residual atom following the initial …

At high energies, single-photon photodetachment of alkali negative ions populates final
states where both the ejected electron and the residual valence electron possess high …

In a recent experiment, Lindahl et al.(Lindahl AO et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 108 (2012) 033004)
observed a new threshold behavior in the photodetachment of the potassium negative ion …

A collinear beam apparatus has been used to study photodetachment of Cs−. Partial cross
sections were measured using state-selective detection based on a resonance ionization …

Negative ions are unique quantum systems which are of fundamental interest within the field
of atomic physics due to the importance of the electron correlation in their creation, stability …

At high energies, single-photon photodetachment of alkali negative ions populates final
states where both the ejected electron and the residual valence electron possess high …

Negative ions are of fundamental interest in atomic physics due to the enhanced importance
of the electron correlation. In this thesis new spectroscopic methods have been developed …

The goal of the presented work is to investigate double detachment of negative ions on nano-
and femtosecond time scales. I have performed three types of experiments. Femtosecond …
