Total transition probability and spontaneous radiative dissociation of B, C, B ' and D states of molecular hydrogen

The total radiative transition probabilities of rovibronic levels of B, C, B' and D states of molecular hydrogen are calculated with emphasis on the d issociation fraction and the kinetic energy released in the continuum radia tion process. The mixing percentages of B, C, B' and D adiabatic states are also given. The data are calculated with the detailed transition probabili ties obtained by Abgrall et al. (.1993, 1994). We have included, in the pre sent analysis, results obtained by using a recent ab initio transition mome nt for D - X which comprises a larger range of internuclear distances. The related data on individual transition probabilities may be obtained on requ est.
