We have measured the coincidence time spectra of two Lyman-α photons emitted by a pair of H (2p) atoms in the photodissociation of H 2 at the incident photon energy of 33.66 eV and at the hydrogen gas pressures of 0.40 Pa and 0.02 Pa, from which the angular distributions of two Lyman-α photons have been obtained. The experimental angular distributions indicate the generation of the entangled pair of H (2p) atoms as predicted by the theory of our group (Miyagi et al 2007 J. Phys. B 40 617) and the role of a new kind of reaction, ie the reaction of the entangled pair of H (2p) atoms with an H 2 molecule that efficiently changes the entanglement. It has turned out that more entangled pairs of H (2p) atoms survive at 0.02 Pa than at 0.40 Pa. The decay time constant in the coincidence time spectrum at 0.02 Pa is approximately half the lifetime of a single H (2p) atom, 1.60 ns, while the decay time constant at 0.40 Pa is in agreement with the lifetime of a single H (2p) atom. It follows that the decay faster than the lifetime of a single H (2p) atom originates from the entanglement in the pair of H (2p) atoms.
