157-nm photodissociation dynamics of CO2 via photofragment-translational spectroscopy

摘要

The photodissociation of CO$-2$/ at 157 nm was studied by the photofragment-translational spectroscopy technique. Product time- of-flight spectra were recorded and center-of-mass translational energy probability distributions were determined. Two electronic channels were observed - one forming O($+1$/D) with 92% probability and the other O($+3$/P) with 8% probability.
