Abstract

A computer program PROFIL has been written for the computation of rotational band contours of asymmetric rotor molecules prepared under non-equilibrium, adiabatic conditions, with a rotational energy distribution that is far from the Boltzmann distribution. The resulting contours differ markedly from the more familiar equilibrium contours. To illustrate the use of the program, we present data from an experiment in which chlorobenzene cations are produced with a non-equilibrium rotational energy distribution, and which are then excited to produce a spectrum with bands having a rotational contour, characteristic of that energy distribution.
