Abstract
We determine experimentally the vector correlation among the three neutral ground state hydrogen atoms which appear in dissociation of neutral H3* molecules. The sum of the kinetic energies of the three H-atoms is fixed by selecting the energy of the H3* molecule by laser excitation in the range between 0.85 and 3.60 eV. The highly structured maps of correlation in the motion of the three atoms provide a direct view of the internal molecular couplings which initiate dissociation. We discuss this feature in a model calculation and in terms of a new quantum chemical calculations of the potential energy surfaces of H3*.
