Negative ions constitute remarkable objects that, in contrast to their neutral relatives, are very weakly bound and typically feature only few bound states. Moreover, the level structure of negative ions near the electron detachment limit also dictates the low-energy scattering of an electron with the parent neutral atom.
Here, we demonstrate how ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRM) can be used as an atomic-scale system to precisely probe details of the underlying near-threshold anion states. For the first time, we present measurements of the so-far unobserved fine structure of the 3PJ triplet of Rb−. In addition, these measurements allow us to extract s- and p-wave scattering lengths with unprecedented precision and determine the positions of the p-wave shape resonances associated with the 3PJ fine-structure triplet of Rb−.
