C. Pan et al., PARALLELS BETWEEN HIGH DOUBLY-EXCITED STATE SPECTRA IN H- AND LI- PHOTODETACHMENT, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(8), 1994, pp. 137-142
Eigenchannel R-matrix calculations for photodetachment of H- up to the
H(n = 6) threshold provide complete theoretical confirmation of obser
ved high-lying, doubly excited state spectra. Long-range multipole int
eractions beyond the reaction volume are found to play an important ro
le. Similar calculations for Li- photodetachment up to the Li(n = 6) t
hreshold predict analogous resonance structures. These results indicat
e that recent advances in understanding two-electron correlations in H
- and He have application to many-electron systems.
