✦ Synopsis

We discuss the origin of reactive scattering resonances in absorption cross sections following the collinear photodissociation of symmetric triatomic molecules. The analysis of spectra for CO, dissociation, previously calculated by Kulander and Light, becomes very simple in terms of polar coordinates. Of particular interest is a symmetry effect which is not observable m ordinary scattering calculations.
