The absolute photodetachment cross section of Ni− leading to Ni+ ion production was measured. The 3p→3d photoexcitation in Ni− gives rise to a giant Feshbach resonance. In the near-threshold region, a Fano profile, modified by a Wigner s-wave (l=0) threshold law, accurately fits the Ni− single-photodetachment cross section. A lower-order R-matrix calculation shows overall agreement with essential features of the experimental data, confirming the nature of the strong, asymmetric Fano profile of the giant 3p→3d photoexcitation-autodetachment resonance in Ni−.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
