The slow recovery of negative ion density after photodetachment

  • 1. Laboratoire de Physique des Milieux Ionises, Laboratoire du CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau Cedex (France)

Description

Measurements of negative ion density after initial laser photodetachment show good agreement with a ballistic theory of negative ion return early in time, but show a much slower return than predicted by theory late in time. Here we develop an explanation based on the establishment of a hole in the negative ion velocity space, which would then be filled in by collisions on a slower time scale
