Double photoionization of CO2 has been studied in the photon energy range 37–52 eV by the photoion–photoion coincidence (PIPICO) method. Three dissociative electronic states (α, β, and γ) of CO++2 have been observed with threshold energies at, respectively, 37.9, 40.5, and 45.0 eV. Comparison of these energies with those recently calculated by Flament et al. indicates that the lowest electronic state at 37.9 eV most probably corresponds to the 1∑+g state (1π−2g main configuration). CO++2 in its α, β, and γ states dissociates into CO++O+ with a high exothermicity since the total kinetic energy released was found to be respectively 4.5, 6.5, and 9.4 eV. From these results we concluded that CO++2 in its α(1∑+g ) state dissociates into CO+(X 2∑+)+O+(4Su) via an indirect process (predissociation). Absolute values of the partial double photoionization cross sections σ++n (E) (n≡α, β, and γ) were also determined as a function of the photon excitation energy E. A ratio of double to total photoionizatio...
