Abstract
The electron affinity of atomic oxygen, an important calibration standard in negative-ion photoelectron spectroscopy, has been determined by tunable-laser photodetachment in a coaxial laser–ion-beam spectrometer to be 11 784.645±0.006 . In addition, the spin-orbit splitting between the and states of was found to be 177.13±0.05 .
