Abstract
We report both measured and calculated rotationally resolved threshold photoelectron spectra for single-photon coherent VUV ionization of th e X 1A1 ground state of jet-cooled H2O and H2S. Agreement between the calculated and measured spectra is very encouraging. Both the H2O and H2S Spectra show type a transitions which arise from odd angular momen tum components of the photoelectron matrix element and are quite molec ular in origin. These type a transitions, however, are much weaker in H2S due to its more atomiclike character.
