Abstract

Inner-shell excited states of carbon dioxide have been studied in a high-resolution electron impact experiment. The excited states (1s) −1(2p π u) 1,3 Π u have been observed as a function of impact energy via their decay, by ejection of an electron, to an ionic state of the molecule. A shift in the energies of these ejected electrons has been observed and is explained in terms of a post collision interaction effect. The relative cross section for the formation of the CO 2 + (A 2 Π u) final ionic state, via the decay of these inner-shell excited states, has been measured.
