Abstract
Measurements of the photodetachment cross section of B-(2s(2)2p(2) 3P) have been performed in the vicinity of the B(2s2p(2) P-4) threshold w ith photon energies ranging from 3.37 to 4.83 eV. The experimental tec hnique is based on a crossed-ion-laser-beam setup using a dye laser co mbined with standard nonlinear techniques. The behavior of the cross s ection above the threshold indicates the presence of the theoretically predicted quasibound B-(2s2p(3) P-3,D-3) states.
