摘要
Benchmarking the recently developed Regge-pole methodology for electron-atom elastic scattering on the most recently measured electron affinity (EA) of the Ca atom, we illustrate the predictive power of the methodology by calculating the binding energy of the tenuously bound negative ion Sr- and predicting the value of 0.61 eV for the binding energy of the ground state of the very complicated Ce- ion, with a g-orbital electron attachment, a shape resonance at 0.37 eV and a Ramsauer-Townsend minimum at about 0.09 eV. Our calculated EA value for the Ce atom favours the latest theoretical value rather than the measured one.
