Novel Electron Spectroscopy of Tenuously and Weakly Bound Negative Ions

Atomic Physics 2011-04-06 v1

Abstract

A novel method is proposed that uses very slow electron elastic collisions with atoms to identify their presence through the observation of tenuously bound (electron impact energy, E<0.1 eV) and weakly bound (E<1 eV) negative ions, formed as Regge resonances during the collisions.
