Absolute total, partial, and differential cross sections for the photodetachment of the oxygen anion are reported for photon energies ranging from threshold (1.46 eV) to 5.5 eV. The total cross section was measured using the animated-crossed-beam technique while partial and differential cross sections were obtained using velocity map imaging. The measured values are in good agreement with theoretical results obtained from an $R$-matrix calculation using polarized pseudostates.
