Abstract
For electron detachment from negative ions the difference between the resultant atom motion and the centre-of-mass motion of the outgoing ion complex (ejected electron plus resultant atom) cannot, in general, be ignored. Calculations for electron detachment from H- in high-energy collisions with hydrogen targets demonstrate that the post-collision path of the H+e centre of mass diverges greatly from the post-collision path of the scattered H atom alone.
