The translational energy spectrum of H Rydberg atoms resulting from the photolysis of methanethiol ( CHsSH ) at 2 16 nm includes peaks which arise from the secondary photolysis of methyl radicals -one of the primary products. The measured times of flight of these secondary H atoms indicate that the

β¦ Synopsis
A theoretical model for the description of the vibrationally resolved photodissociation of diatomic molecules through the decay of bonding core-excited states is proposed and applied to the photodissociation induced by the highly resolved resonant N 1 s --* l'rrg core excitation of an isolated N 2 followed by spectator Auger decay to an excited state of N~-which may dissociate. The photodissociation and absorption spectra are distinctly different. The absorption spectrum extracted from the model agrees with experimental data. The kinetic energy distributions of the photodissociation fragments contain detailed information about the final state of Nf. Comparison with data for N Γ· photodesorption and electron yield data for condensed N 2 indicates that the desorption signal is dominated by an essentially purely repulsive final state of N~.
