Abstract
The first observation of capture of He atoms by negatively charged Buc kminsterfullerene (C60) is reported. The collision energy dependence o f the production of the endohedral complex is presented in the region of the energetic threshold and compared directly with results obtained using positively charged C60. The threshold for capture by negative i ons is shifted by almost-equal-to 1.5 eV to higher energies. This shif t can be accounted for by considering the different internal energies of the positive and negative ions.
