✦ Synopsis
Electron capture by keV 0: (X *ITS) ions from Cs atoms yields predominantly the 'II, and 'II, Rydberg states of 02, which subsequently predissociate. Through the use of translational spectroscopy on the neutral product atoms, we have located a number ofvibrational levels of these states and determined the dissociation channels. Furthermore we have observed competition between diabatic and adiabatic behaviour in the dissociating channels.

Rate constants are reported for the state-specific vibrational relaxation of O2 (8 d v< 11) by NOz and O2 at 295 K. O2 is formed in vibrational levels up to II= 11 by the reaction of 0( 3P) atoms with NO1. The oxygen atoms were created by partial photolysis of NOz at 355 nm using a frequency-tripled
