✦ Synopsis


In this paper a three-dimensional quantum model to study vibrational predissociation of van der Waals molecules is applied to the +-He complex for very high vibrational (SO 4 ~14 64) of the 12 subunit The vibrations are described in the distorted-wave diabatic approximation while rotations are treated in the sudden approximation. The rates for vibrational predissociation as a function of the initial diatomic (12) vibrational excitation show a maximum at u1 J 57, which is found to be in good agreement with recent experimental data.
