Abstract

$K$-shell photodetachment of ${\mathrm{B}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ has been measured using the collinear photon-ion beamline at the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as well as calculated using two separate $R$-matrix methods. The measurement of the absolute photodetachment cross section, as a function of photon energy, exhibits three near-threshold shape resonances due to the $^{3}S$, $^{3}P$, and $^{3}D$ final partial waves. A fit to the measured data using three resonance profiles shows good overall qualitative agreement with the three partial wave cross sections calculated using either $R$-matrix method. However, certain significant and unresolved quantitative discrepancies exist between the experimentally inferred and the calculated resonance profiles.
