Abstract

The lowest septests of

B^{-}

associated with configurations

1 s 2 s 2 p^{2} 3 s 3 p

and

1 s 2 s 2 p^{2} 3 p^{2}

have been explored, including the effects of electron correlation, and one new bound state, the

{}^{7}S

, having an affinity of 0.0857 eV, has been found. As the state decays primarily by radiative autoionization, it may be a candidate for lasing activity.
