Doppler tuning vuv spectroscopy of D − over an extended photon-energy range around the n = 2 threshold

The giant (or shape) resonance in the photodetachment cross section of D{sup -} above the n=2 threshold has been subjected to high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy performed by Doppler tuning of ions stored in the ASTRID storage ring. In order to prevent changes in the overlap between lase...

Zusammenfassung:The giant (or shape) resonance in the photodetachment cross section of D{sup -} above the n=2 threshold has been subjected to high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy performed by Doppler tuning of ions stored in the ASTRID storage ring. In order to prevent changes in the overlap between laser and ion beams over the large kinetic-energy range employed in the experiment, a new ion-beam-positioning method based on a quadrupole-shunt technique was applied. The study presents an accurate measurement of parameters for the resonance, which is also denoted {sub 2}(0){sub 2}{sup +} {sup 1}P{sup o}. The resonance has a width of 26(2) meV while the asymmetry parameter q of the Fano profile is 3.2(0.4), which is at variance with the most recent theoretical calculations.
