Abstract
Abstract A heuristic model is presented for dissociation of polyatomic molecules by absorption ofn-photons, that utilizes the idea of a resonance model along with the requirement of conservation of probability in a transition process. This leads explicitly to a formula for the rate of dissociation which is given by a probability factor multiplied by the single photon rate of dissociation, from the last resonant state to the continuum. The formula may be used to obtain the angular distribution of the dissociating fragments as well as to estimate the total rate of dissociation per unit time. The probability factor is conveniently calculated in the rotating wave approximation.
