Mb. Pushkarsky et al., Detection and characterization of alkyl peroxy radicals using cavity ringdown spectroscopy, J CHEM PHYS, 112(24), 2000, pp. 10695-10698
Cavity ringdown spectra of the (A) over tilde (2)A'-(X) over tilde (2)A " e
lectronic transition in the IR are reported for the methyl and ethyl peroxy
radicals. Analysis of partially resolved rotational structure for the orig
in band of the transition provides information about both the (A) over tild
e and (X) over tilde states of CH3O2.. An estimate for the absorption cross
section is determined from the CRDS absorption and the rate of radical-rad
ical recombination. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(00)
