Photodetachment of Lanthanide Oxide Anions

POSTER

Abstract

Laser photodetached electron spectroscopy (LPES) has been used to study the structure and collision properties of lanthanide oxide anions including LaO$_n^-$ and CeO$_n^-$. Preliminary photoelectron spectra from these anions will be presented along with ion beam production data from these and other lanthanide oxide anions.
