Using a simple classical model, we calculate the distribution of final states resulting from the autoionization of the1Sgr;glpar;2psgr;u2rpar;state of H2(D2) to the2Sgr;g(1ssgr;g) state ofH2plus;lpar;D2plus;rpar;. The population of vibrational levels differs markedly from that predicted by the Franckhyphen;Condon principle for direct ionization. The calculated kinetic energy distributions of Hplus;and Dplus;have maxima at threshold (Ekinequals;0). The probability of forming dissociated products is smaller for D2than H2.
