✦ Synopsis
An experiment to measure the product internal state distribution in the infrared predissociation of (NO)* (Y,,) has been performed, using (2 + 2) REMPI as the detection technique. The results show that a small amount of the excess energy is converted into rotation. Comparison with earlier data concerning photodissociation through the u, mode suggests that non-adiabatic transitions are the dominant mechanism in this predissociation.

The vibrational and rotational status of X 'xl N: fragments from the 355 nm photolysis of N: has been assessed using two complementary experimental techniques. Evidence from both methods suggests that the N$ photofragments are predominately in the u=O vibrational level of the electronic ground state
The rotational alignment As) of the NO(A) fragments in the photodissociation of the NO dimer at 193 nm has been determined based on the polarization response of the laser-induced fluorescence in the E %+-A 'Z+ transition. The observed alignment Ah\*) is negative, with increasing magnitude in higher
