Title: Vibrationally resolved photoelectron angular distributions for H/sub 2/ in the range 17 eVless than or equal toh. nu. less than or equal to39 eV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Vibrationally resolved photoelectron angular distributions have been measured for photoionization of H/sub 2/ over the range 17 eVless than or equal toh..nu..less than or equal to39 eV using independent instrumentation at two synchro- tron radiation facilities. The present data greatly extend and add vibrational resolution to earlier variable-wavelength measurements. The average magnitude of the asymmetry parameter continues to lie lower than the best independent-electron calculations. Broad structure is observed for the first time, possibly indicating the effects of channel interaction with dissociative, doubly excited states of H/sub 2/. Neither the average magnitude nor the gross wavelength-dependent structure vary strongly with the final vibrational channel.
