Abstract: Synopsis The robust Regge-pole methodology which embeds the crucial electron correlations and the vital core-polarization interaction is used to explore negative-ion formation in the actinide atoms Pu, Am and Lr through the electron elastic total cross sections (TCSs) calculation. The TCSs are found to be characterized by ground, metastable and excited anionic formation, whence we extract the anionic binding energies and compare them with existing electron affinities. The TCSs exhibit both atomic and molecular behavior in addition to polar- ization-induced metastable TCSs.
