AN ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION OF CS2- RESONANT STATES

An alternative interpretation of resonant states in the molecular nega tive ions CS2-. is fulfilled with the help of the combined application of previously reported data on resonant dissociative electron attachm ent, photoelectron spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy. It is shown that CS2 at energies ranging fro m 3.35 to 7.80 eV is formed by the core-excited Feshbach resonance mec hanism of the inter-shell type involving singlet excitation of a molec ule and capture of an additional electron into the Rydberg orbital.
