We measure the fluorescence decays for low-lying rotational states in the first eight vibrational levels of HCO B 2.aL Some long-lived decays exhibit weak quantum beats that we attribute to a higher-order hyperfine perturbation in the 13 state. We estimate fluorescence quantum yields by combining me

Using the single-photon time correlation sxtetf'od, we have determined the lifetime of the Sz (B 3X3) state from the decay rate of the fluorescence at 370 nm. A lifetime of 45.0 t 0.6 n5 was measured, and the cross section for fluorescence quenching by Sz as found to be 8J -3 t 4.7 A\*. A slight dep
Arguments are put forward that the quantum beats in the B 2~ electronic state of HCO attributed to a higher-order hyperfine perturbation by Tobiason and Rohlfing are most likely due to well-known hyperfine quantum beats. In contrast to Tobiason and Rohlfing's interpretation, hyperfine perturbations
The preceding Comment by Bitto and Carter objects to our interpretation of the weak quantum beats observed for particular rovibrational states of B 2K HCO in the title article and postulates that the observed beats are anisotropic hyperfine quantum beats. We concur with their Comment, acknowledge th
