Effects of shape resonances on vibrational intensity distributions in molecular photoionization

  • 1. National Measurement Laboratory, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C. 20234

Description

We report striking non--Franck-Condon vibrational intensity distributions associated with the shape resonance in the 5sigma photoionization channel of CO. This example confirms the recent theoretical prediction that shape resonances will couple significantly with vibrational motion, leading to different resonance energies and profiles, and non--Franck-Condon intensities in alternative vibrational channels. Analogous effects are expected in connection with the widespread occurrence of shape resonances in both innershell and outershell molecular photoionization spectra
