Description

Unusual excitation patterns have been observed in the two-dimensional electron scattering spectrum of carbon dioxide in the region of the 4 eV shape resonance. Certain features of the spectrum presented are explained in terms of a quantum mechanical analog of friction which acts to dampen the nuclear motion of the negative ion
