A fully quantum-mechanical modification to the R-matrix method is introduced to include the recapture of slow photoelectrons following Auger decay of an inner-shell vacancy state and is applied to the photodetachment of Li- above the 1s-1 threshold. The results show excellent agreement with experiment and resolve a large discrepancy in the cross section near the 1s threshold between theory and experiment.
