Abstract

Predissociation processes of superexcited Rydberg states (υ=1, n=8-17, l=s, p and f) of the NO molecule have been investigated by detecting the fragment nitrogen atom with a resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) technique. As a result, the N(²D) production predicted by theoretical calculations has been confirmed. Moreover, the unexpected generation of N(⁴S) has also been observed. Yields of the fragment atoms are strongly dependent on both the principal and angular momentum quantum numbers of the Rydberg electron.
