Description

The doubly degenerate core-excited Π state of CO2 splits into two due to static Renner-Teller effect. Using the triple-ion-coincidence momentum imaging technique and focusing on the dependence of the measured quantities on the polarization of the incident light, we have probed, directly and separately, the linear and bent geometries for the B1 and A1 Renner-Teller pair states, as a direct proof of the static Renner-Teller effect
