Abstract
Photodetachment is a fundamental ionization process by which electrons are ejected from negative ions following the absorption of photons. E lectron correlation plays a more enhanced role in photodetachment than in photoionization. Experimentally measured photodetachment cross sec tions serve to guide theory since they constitute sensitive tests of t he appropriateness of wavefunctions used in calculations. The status o f interacting beam measurements of photodetachment cross sections is r eviewed.
