Abstract

We report the first calculation of the photodetachment cross section for the metastable,

1 s 2 s 2 p {}^{4}P^{o}

state of

{He}^{-}

. Extensive configuration-interaction wave functions and the Stieltjes-moment-theory technique were used to determine the total cross section from threshold to 3.0 eV. The

1 s 2 p^{2} {}^{4}P^{e}

state of

{He}^{-}

gives rise to a very large (∼ 24 ×

10^{- 16}

{cm}^{2}

) and narrow peak 10 meV above the

2^{3} P^{o}

threshold.
