Abstract

SynopsisThe near-UV photodissociation of has been studied in a fast beam experiment. The kinetic energy release and branching ratio among the fragmentation channels were obtained by three-dimensional imaging of the dissociation products. It is found that the photodissociation of vibrationally excited mostly produces vibrationally cold and hot H2. The non-adiabatic repopulation of the ground potential energy surface after excitation is accounted for by modelling the wavepacket dynamics on the intersecting potential energy surfaces.
