G. Haeffler et al., PHOTODETACHMENT CROSS-SECTIONS FOR THE S-4 BOUND-STATE OF THE NEGATIVE CARBON ION, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 29(14), 1996, pp. 3017-3022
Measurements of the photodetachment cross section of C-(2s(2)2p(3) S-4
) have been performed in the vicinity of the C(2s2p(3) S-5) threshold,
with photon energies ranging from 523-6.04 eV. The experimental cross
section is nearly constant throughout this energy region, in marked c
ontrast to recent theoretical predictions of strong resonance structur
es. The present data indicate that the quasibound C-(2s2p(4) S-4) stat
e may be located at higher energies than so far predicted.
