Electron Affinity of Helium Measured by Photodetachment
DOI: 10.1063/1.3034687
The first direct measurement of the electron affinity of helium has been reported by a team of physicists at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics at Boulder, Colorado. This parameter represents the binding energy of an extra electron that may attach to an atom to form a negative ion.
