Collisional processes, which influence quantitative laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements involving the B 3"Y u state of molecular oxygen, were investigated. Since the B state is strongly predissociating, these processes are thought to be important only at higher pressures. However, we found

✦ Synopsis
A fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy study of the predissociation of the O2 B %; state is presented. A 5 keV beam of vibrationally excited O2 X 'Z:; is prepared via photodetachment of OF. The B 'Z; (v'= 7) +X 'C, (~"=4) transition of the Schumann-Runge band is then excited, resulting in predissociation to two 0 'P, atoms. We determine the photofragment kinetic energy angular distribution using a time-and position-sensitive detector. Our energy resolution ( 10 meV) is sufficient to resolve the energy splittings of the 0 atom spin-orbit levels, enabling us to determine the correlated (j,, j,) fine structure distribution for the photofragments.
These results do not appear to be consistent with predictions based on a recent model of O2 B 2; state predissociation.
