Abstract
We report the analysis of vibrational and rotational energy of Na/sub 2/ /sup +/ ions produced by associative ionization (AI) in two processes: Na(3p)+Na(3p)..-->..Na/sub 2/ /sup +/+e and Na(3s)+Na(6p)..-->..Na/sub 2/ /sup +/+e. The nascent distributions are measured using photofragment translational spectroscopy. The results show that AI produces vibrationally excited Na/sub 2/ /sup +/ with a distribution increasing approximately linearly with vibrational level. Rotational distributions indicate a short-range opacity function for AI with a maximum impact parameter of about 2 A in both processes listed above.
