✦ Synopsis
Characterization of laser 2+2 multiphoton ionization of nitrogen to obtain rotational state distributions has been investigated via the resonant two-photon transition a'lI,(u =l) -X lZs( u = 0). For room-temperature nitrogen, the spectral intensities and state distribution are directly related and give rotational temperatures of 290+20 K_ For power densities of 3 GW/cm'. the ionization probability is 1 x10-' per N2 molecule per average rotational state.

The rotational state-selective detection of nitrogen is demonstrated employing 2 + 2 multiphoton ionization through the intermediate H 'II,( v' = 3) state, and the method is seen to be very sensitive. A comparison between experiment and theory is presented using intensity data from the resonantly en
Results of theoretical studies of rotational branching ratios and photoelectron angular distributions for (2 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) of NO via the Qz, ( 13.5) branch of the C \*H(3px) Rydberg state are reported and compared with recent measurements.

N2B3ng, Y = O-2 and N\*a"v;, Y = 0 were produced by pulsed rodiolysis af nitrogen (100-2000 torr) and fo!lowed by fast kinetic absorption spectroscopy in the second and fifth positive system. T!le rate constants for the denctivation of the species by nitrogen were found to be ~N~A,~ = 1.6i + 0.8; 2.
