K. Ueda et al., PHOTOELECTRON STUDY OF ELECTRONIC AUTOIONIZATION IN ROTATIONALLY COOLED N-2 - THE N=6 MEMBER OF THE HOPFIELD SERIES, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 26(18), 1993, pp. 601-606
We report preliminary results of a study of the Hopfield series in rot
ationally cooled molecular nitrogen. By using angle resolved electron
spectroscopy in combination with synchrotron radiation, partial cross
sections and asymmetry parameters for formation of the vibrationally r
esolved X and A states of N2+ were measured in the region of the n = 6
member of the Hopfield bands. The results are compared with earlier a
b initio MQDT calculations and reflect qualitative agreement for the X
2SIGMA(g)+ decay channel, but sharp disagreement for the A 2PI(u) dec
ay channel.
