abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The interference effect in the photdetachment of a diatomic molecular anion
is investigated theoretically for different molecular orientation by using the two-center
model. An analytic formula is presented for the photodetached electron flux
distribution at a given observation plane. Taking $H^-_2$ as an example, we calculate the
electron flux distribution and photodetachment cross section for arbitrary molecular
orientation. The results show that the molecular orientation has great influence on the
photodetachment of the diatomic molecular anion. At certain molecular orientation,
the interference in the electron flux distribution is totally constructive; while at some
other orientations, the interference is destructive. For molecular orientation along the
laser light polarization, the oscillation amplitude in the photodetachment cross section
is the largest; however, for the molecular orientation perpendicular to the laser light
polarization, no oscillation appears in the cross section. Our studies suggest that we
can control the photodetachment process of the molecular negative ion by changing
the molecular orientation. Our researches will be helpful for the theoretical and experimental
study of the photodetachment of molecular anion.</p>},
