Interferences in photodetachment of a triatomic negative ion

The photodetachment of a triatomic negative ion is studied and the detached-electron wave function is obtained as a superposition of coherent waves originating from each atom of the system. The photodetached electron flux is evaluated on a screen placed at a large distance from the system, which dis...
