Description

The authors report here the first application of a technique using two-step doubly resonant excitation followed by negative (H/sup -/) ion detection to study the Rydberg state of H/sub 2/ above 17 eV. High-resolution spectra of new Rydberg states with high-convergence limits (to H/sup +//sub 2/X/sup 2/Σg/sup +/, v/sup +/ = 9,N/sup +/ = 1,3) were obtained and analyzed. The Fano line profiles were resolved, and a reversal of the profile index along the series was observed, the latter for the first time in H/sub 2/. Dynamical information such as lifetimes and relative transition strengths from low electronic states to Rydberg states and the ion-pair dissociation continuum was deduced
