✦ Synopsis

bfcazurcmentf of the q:ul~r chstribution of the alkali photofrngment from photodissociation

of n molecular beam of sodium iodldc using ImcJrly pol,mzcd lrght of wavelength 347.1 nm shows that a pcrpcndicular transitron from the *xc Ionic ground Ftate to the SZ = I cov.dcnt cvcltcd Ftatc accounts for 80 f 9% of the absorption leading to ground state ncu-tr31 atoms at that cncrgy.
