We have incorporated a classical treatment of molecular rotation into our f
ormulation of energy- and angle-resolved pump-probe photoelectron spectrosc
opy. This classical treatment provides a useful approach to extracting the
photoelectron signal primarily associated with vibrational dynamics in case
s where rotational motion is slow and the coupling between rotational and v
ibrational motion is weak. We illustrate its applicability with pump-probe
photoelectron spectra for wave packets on the (1)Sigma (+)(u) double-minimu
m state of Na-2. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
