Abstract
Carbon atom generation following the predissociation of Rydberg states of CO has been investigated. The Rydberg states of CO were prepared by two-color double resonant excitation through the3sσB 1Σ + state and the atomic carbon fragment was detected by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. The4s–6s( v = 0), 5s( v = 1), 4p( v = 0), 3dπ( v = 0, 1), 5dσ( v = 0), 4f–5f( v = 0) Rydberg states and theW 1Π( v = 2, 3) state were observed, and it was confirmed that all the states predissociate to generate the 3P carbon atom. The distributions in the spin-orbit sublevels ( J) of the 3P J carbon atoms were also investigated.
