We report calculated ionic rotational branching ratios and associated photoelectron angular distributions for (1+1/prime/) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) via the /ital R//sub 21/(20.5), /ital P//sub 21/+/ital Q//sub 11/(25.5), and /ital P//sub 11/(22.5) branches of the /ital A/ /sup 2/ /Sigma/+(3/ital s//sigma/) state of NO. The branching ratios are dominated by even angular momentum transfer peaks, in agreement with the /Delta//ital N/+/ital l/=odd (/Delta//ital N//equivalent to//ital N//sub +//minus//ital N//sub /ital i// ) selection rule. Whereas the calculated photoelectron angular distributions are very branch dependent alignment, the ionic branching ratios are found to be less so. The present calculated results agree well with the experimental results of Allendorf /ital et/ /ital al/.
