The fine-structure splittings of the 3d *E" and 2A; states of H, are measured using fast neutral-beam laser spectroscopy. The splittings areanalyzed in terms of the rotational mixing oftbe E" and A; states to yield a value for the spin-orbii coupling constant of H, very close to those of the H and Li atoms. Contrary to previously published values of 40-90 ps, but in agreement with a recent measurement by Helm and co-workers, we find a lifetime of less than 2.1 ps for the long-lived 2p 'A; iy= K=O state. The spin-orbit contribution to predissociation of this state is discussed.

The 3455 8. triplet state of s-triaine is not a straightforward problem in conventional spectroscopy. A summary of spin-orbit calculations and of the significance of previous Zeeman-effect work is presented with the objective of understanding the source of the out-of-plane intensity in the transitio
In this paper we study interactions between orbital and rotational motions of an irregular-shaped satellite of a massive spherical object. Dissipative effects are not taken into account. It is shown that spin-orbit coupling can have important effects on the orbital behavior, leading to chaotic orbit
