Abstract

Excitation functions for Br^- and Br⁺ formation from jet-cooled Br₂, in the region 120-114 nm (i.e. from threshold to above the ionisation limit of Br₂), are reported. The mechanism for ion-pair formation is discussed in terms of homogeneous coupling between the 8pπ Rydberg state and the D(0_u⁺) ion-pair state, correlating with Br^- (¹S₀) + Br⁺ (³P₂).
