The electron affinity of platinum has been measured to be 17 125(9) cm−1. A pulsed dye laser beam perpendicular to an ion beam photodetached the Pt−. The relative cross section near threshold was measured by detecting the fast neutrals. The threshold was determined by fitting the cross section to the Wigner law.
