Branching ratio of the H sup minus ( n =2) shape resonance

The relative photodetachment cross section for decay into the H({ital N}=2) channel by the {sup 1}{ital P}{degree} shape resonance in H{sup {minus}} was measured, as well as that for decay into all channels. The branching ratio {sigma}({ital N}=2)/{sigma}(total) was computed for a series of energies...

Description
Summary:The relative photodetachment cross section for decay into the H({ital N}=2) channel by the {sup 1}{ital P}{degree} shape resonance in H{sup {minus}} was measured, as well as that for decay into all channels. The branching ratio {sigma}({ital N}=2)/{sigma}(total) was computed for a series of energies between 10.95 and 11.3 eV after normalizing the cross sections to theoretical peak amplitudes. The maximum branching ratio ({approx}0.8) appears at an energy about 20 meV higher than the central energy of the resonance. Results are compared with recent theoretical calculations.
