Abstract
Resonance-enhanced multiphoton dissociation (REMPD) of CH + yields C + H + products. By monitoring the H + signal as a function of either ω 1 (the laser frequency used to carry out REMPI of CH via the E′ (3pσ) Rydberg state) or ω 2 (the frequency used for REMPD of CH + produced by ω 1), we are able to determine rotational state distributions of CH + ions. The observed distributions are in accord with theoretical propensity rules and serve to verify the configuration and symmetry of the Rydberg state. The technique used in this work can serve as an alternative to laser-induced fluorescence when the latter is impractical.
