Photodetachment cross-section of the negatively charged hydrogen ion [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.04766


Photodetachment cross-section $\sigma_{ph}(p_e)$ of the negatively charged hydrogen ion H$^{-}$ is determined with the use of highly accurate variational wave functions constructed for this ion. Photodetachment cross-sections of the H$^{-}$ ion are also studied for very small and very large values of the photo-electron momentum $p_e$. Maximum of this cross-section has been evaluated to very high accuracy and we have found that $[\sigma_{ph}(p_e)]_{\max} \approx$ 3.8627035742 $\cdot 10^{-17}$ $cm^2$ at $p_e \approx$ 0.113206(1) $a.u.$ Photodetachment of the H$^{-}$ ion at very small and very large $p_e$ values is also considered. Our method is based upon the Rayleigh’s formula for spherical Bessel functions.
