✦ Synopsis

The effects of relatively high static electric fields ( 133-6533 V/cm) in the photoionization and photoabsorption of methyl iodide below the fast and second ionization limits are reported. As opposed to the minor effect of the field in the photoabsorption, signifkant changes are observed in the photoionization below the thresholds. The changes induced by the field in the photoionization signal are explained in terms of a simple model based on the absorption spectra and on the photoionization spectrum recorded with the lowest applied field.
