摘要

One-color-two-photon photodetachment of HOCO- at E-h nu=1.60 eV accompanied by a measurement of the photoelectron angular distribution (PAD) is used to illustrate a novel approach to the alignment of a molecular anion. A quantitative analysis of the PAD reveals this alignment process is associated with a temporary anion formed by a p-wave shape resonance and the PAD in the two-photon signal is a result of interfering s- and d-partial waves within the atomic approximation. The extracted intensity and phase shift of the partial waves are consistent with the Wigner threshold law for photodetachment.
