Abstract
Rotationally resolved laser photoelectron spectra were recorded by exciting specific rovibronic levels in the A/sup 2/..sigma../sup +/, C/sup 2/II, and D/sup 2/..sigma../sup +/ Rydberg states of NO, to study the rotational propensity rules in photoionization. The data for the A and C states are in excellent agreement with theoretical calculations of Bonham et al. and the model of Pratt et al. The D state spectra show, in addition to the expected propensities, a strong ..delta..N = 0 peak. On the basis of theoretical calculations they infer that the continuum wave excited by ionizing NO from its D state cannot be adequately described by a single l quantum number.
