Abstract

Vibrationally resolved, photoelectron angular distributions are reported for the (2 + 1) REMPI of the C 3Πg (3sσ g), v′ = 0-3 Rydberg levels of O2. Ionization transitions leading to different vibrational final states (v+) of O2+ exhibit markedly different angular distributions, suggesting different ionization mechanisms. The experimental data are qualitatively reproduced by very recent ab initio calculations which attribute the non-Franck-Condon behavior to the presence of a kσu shape resonance imbedded in the ionization continuum. Much of the remaining anomalous behavior is attributed to a Fano-type resonance in the Πu channel.
