Photodetachment of K-

Eigenchannel R-matrix calculation results are presented for the photodetachment of K- in the energy region between the K(5s) and K(7p) thresholds. Present results are compared with prior theoretical and experimental studies, including the recent relative K(5s) partial cross section measurements of Kiyan et al.1, and resonances observed in electron-potassium scattering. Detailed analyses and identifications of 1P0 resonance structures are presented. Comparisons with H- and other alkali negative ions provide further information on the structure and dynamics of these systems. The induced dipole potential model proposed to describe resonance positions2 and widths3 are also discussed.
