Negative Ions and Highly Excited Molecules

关于激发负离子和中性分子Rydberg态的工作仍在继续，目的是澄清最近工作中提出的问题，并在研究He2振动自脱离和双原子和三原子分子Rydberg态的预解离产物分布方面寻求一些新的途径。此外，将使用高分辨率技术对分子离子里德堡态的预解离进行首次研究。这项工作将产生这些态的重要性质和衰变路径，以及关于产生里德堡态的电子俘获过程的新信息。

Work concerned with excited negative ions and with Rydberg states of neutral molecules is continued with the objective of clarifying issues raised in recent work, and pursuing some new avenues in studies of He2- vibrational autodetachment, and predissociation product distributions from Rydberg states of diatomic and triatomic molecules. In addition, the first studies of the predissociation of molecular ion Rydberg states will be carried out using high-resolution techniques. The work will yield important properties and decay pathways of these states, and new information on the electron capture processes by which the Rydberg states are produced.
