Determination of molecular constants of nitric oxide from (1-0), (2-0), (3-0) bands of the 15N16O and 15N18O isotopic species

The (1-0), (2-0), and (3-0) transitions of ¹⁵N¹⁶O and ¹⁵N¹⁸O are investigated. The wavenumbers of the rotation-vibration lines are reported for the overtone bands and the ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{-}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ (1-0) subband. It is shown that in the data reduction it is advantageous to calculate first merged spectroscopic constants ignoring the Λ-type doubling. The vibrational constants ω_e, ω_ex_e, ω_ey_e and the vibrational dependence of the rotational constants are determined. The study of ¹⁵N¹⁸O allows the determination of the equilibrium values of the centrifugal distortion correction A_De to the spin-orbit constant and of the spin-rotation constant γ_e from the isotopic invariance of the ratios $\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>De</mtext>}}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}$ and $\text{γ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}$. It is found that $\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>De</mtext>}}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{= (?3.9 ± 1.3) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?6}}$ and $\text{γ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{= (?4.00 ± 0.05) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$.     

Analysis of the 2770-Å emission system in I2

A weak emission spectrum of I₂ near 2770 Å is reanalyzed and found to to minate on the A(1u³Π) state. The assigned bands span v″ levels 5–19 and v′ levels 0–8. The new assignment is corroborated by isotope shifts, band profile simulations, and Franck-Condon calculations. The excited state is an ion-pair state, probably the 1g state which tends toward $\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S) +}\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_1\text{)}$. In combination with other results for the A state, the analysis yields the following spectroscopic constants: T″_e = 10 907 cm^?1, $\text{D}$″_e = 1640 cm^?1, ω″_e = 95 cm^?1, $\text{R″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.06}\text{A}\text{?}$; T′_e = 47 559.1 cm^?1, ω′_e = 106.60 cm^?1, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Overtone bands of 14N16O and determination of molecular constants

The wavenumbers of the rotation-vibration lines of ¹⁴N¹⁶O are reported for the (2-0) and (3-0) bands. The full set of spectroscopic constants for the three bands (1-0), (2-0), and (3-0) has been determined with the method developed by Albritton, Schmeltekopf, and Zare for merging the results of separate least-squares fits. The vibrational constants ω_e, ω_ex_e, ω_ey_e, and the vibrational dependence of the rotational constants have been deduced. The apparent spin-orbit constant $\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>v</mtext>}}$ and its centrifugal correction $\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>D</mtext>}}$ (including the spin-rotation constant) have a vibrational dependence of the following form: $\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{v}}\text{=}\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? α}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(v +}\text{1}\text{2}\text{) + γ}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(v +}\text{1}\text{2}\text{)}{}^2$ and $\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>D</mtext><mtext>v</mtext>}}\text{=}\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>D</mtext><mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{? β}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(v +}\text{1}\text{2}\text{) + δ}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(v +}\text{built+1}\text{2}\text{)}{}^2$; the values of the constants in these two equations have been determined.     

The electronic isotope shift in the A2Π-X2Σ+ bands of BeH,BeD and BeT

The 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3 bands of the A²Π-X²Σ⁺ transition of the tritiated beryllium monohydride molecule have been observed at 5000 Å in emission using a beryllium hollow-cathode discharge in a He + T₂ mixture. The rotational analysis of these bands yields the following principal molecular constants.

$\text{A}{}^2\text{Π:}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 4.192}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{; r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.333}\text{A}\text{?}$

$\text{X}{}^2\text{Σ:}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 4.142}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{; r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.341}\text{A}\text{?}$

$\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{′ ? ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{″ = 16.36}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{; ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{′X}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{′ ? ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{″X}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{″ = 0.84}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$

From the pure electronic energy difference (E_Π - E_Σ)_BeT = 20 037.91 ± 1.5 cm^?1 and the corresponding previously known values for BeH and BeD, the following electronic isotope shifts are derived

$\text{ΔE}{}_{\mathrm{e}}{}^{\mathrm{i}}\text{(}\text{BeH}\text{?}\text{BeT}\text{) = ?4.7 ≠ 1.5}\text{cm}{}^1\text{, ΔE}{}_{\mathrm{e}}{}^{\mathrm{i}}\text{(}\text{BeH}\text{?}\text{BeT}\text{) = ?1.8 ≠ 1.5}\text{cm}{}^1$

and related to the theoretical approach given by Bunker to the problem of the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.     

On the electronic spectrum of the Mo2 molecule observed after flash photolysis of Mo(CO)6

Absorption and emission spectra of Mo₂ were investigated using flash photolysis of the Mo(CO)₆ molecule. Tentative vibrational and rotational analyses of the ⁹⁸Mo₂ spectra were performed. For the ground state, ${}^1\text{Σ}{}_{\mathrm{g}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ type was proposed with ω_e = 477.1 cm^?1, $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.929}\text{A}\text{?}$, and D₀(Mo₂) = 95 ± 15 kcal mole^?1. The results were compared with theoretical calculations for Mo₂ and experimental results for Cr₂ obtained previously. It seems reasonable that the transition metal diatomic molecules of this type have a high bond order.     

Flavor changing neutral currents and multileptons in e+e- and vμN,vμN

New quarks and new flavor-changing neutral currents give multiple lepton plus hadron final states in e⁺e^-, $\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{N,}\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{N}$. We observe that (i) e⁺e^- is a favored place to search for their effects through inclusive ratios σ(e⁺e^-+x:σ (μ⁺μ^- +x): σ(e±μ±+x) and same sign leptons e±e±+x, μ±μ±+x,e±μ±+x. Above a new flavor threshold four charged lrpton final states may become important. (ii) Trilepton final states in $\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{N,}\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{N}$ are not sensitive to the presence of flavor-changing neutral currents. Much more sensitive are the processes $\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{N}$ are ⁺e^-+βand (for charm changing neutral currents) $\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{N→e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{β}$.     

Infrared bands of 12C2HD

The rotational structure of about 40 bands of ¹²C₂HD observed in the region 6000?600 cm^?1 has been measured and interpreted with the purpose of determining a comprehensive set of molecular constants for this isotopic variety of acetylene. Combining these data with the results for ¹²C₂H₂ and ¹²C₂D₂, a reevaluation of the equilibrium internuclear distances for the acetylene molecule has been made: $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(CH) = 1.06215 ± 17 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}\text{A}\text{?}$ and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{(CC) = 1.20257 ± 9 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}\text{A}\text{?}$ were obtained. This paper presents all the molecular constants derived in this study.     

Spectroscopic information on ground-state Ar2, Kr2, and Xe2 from interatomic potentials

Calculations of vibrational and rotational level spacings of homonuclear inert gas diatomic molecules by numerical integration of the radial Schrödinger equation are presented. The potentials which were used for the ground states of Ar₂, Kr₂, and Xe₂ were obtained from accurate fits to the molecular beam scattering data. From the calculated $\text{Δ}\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>v+</mtext><mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{'}\text{s}$ and B_v's, the following spectroscopic constants (in cm^?1) were fitted: for Ar₂ω_e = 31.92, ω_ex_e = 3.31, ω_ey_e = 0.11, B_e = 0.060, α_e = 0.004; for $\text{Kr}{}_2\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 23.99}$, $\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 1.30}$, $\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{y}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.021}$, $\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.024}$, $\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.001}$; for $\text{Xe}{}_2\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 21.26}$, $\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.75}$, $\text{ω}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{y}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.008}$, $\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.013}$, $\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{? 0.0004}$.     

The D′ → A′ transition in Br2

A vibrational and rotational analysis is presented for the D′ → A′ transition (2800–2950 Å) of Br₂. The analysis includes 11 rotationally analyzed bands for ⁷⁹Br₂ and 3 for ⁸¹Br₂, plus bandheads for 70 additional v′-v″ bands of ⁷⁹Br₂, ⁸¹Br₂, and ⁷⁹Br⁸¹Br. The latter include some violet-degraded and spikelike features at the long-wavelength end of the spectrum, which are interpreted and assigned with the aid of band profile simulations. The assigned features are fitted directly to 14 vibrational and rotational expansion parameters for the two electronic states, from which the following spectroscopic constants are obtained: ΔT_e = 35706 cm^?1, ω′_e = 150.86 cm^?1, ω″_e = 165.2 cm^?1, B′_e = 0.042515 cm^?1, B″_e = 0.05944 cm^?1, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.170}\text{A}\text{?}$, $\text{R″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 2.681}\text{A}\text{?}$. The spectroscopic parameters are used to calculate RKR potentials and Franck-Condon factors for the transition.     

Infrared diode laser spectroscopy of the CF radical

The fundamental bands of the CF radical in the $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ electronic states were observed by using an infrared tunable diode laser as a source. Zeeman modulation could be used in detecting lines not only in the ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ state, but also in ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$, because the CF radical deviates considerably from Hund's case (a). From the least-squares analysis of the observed spectra, the following molecular constants were obtained: B_e = 1.416 704 (37) cm^?1, α_e = 0.018 419 (50) cm^?1, $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.271 977 (17)}\text{A}\text{?}$, D_e = 6.68 (15) × 10^?6cm^?1, p₀ = 0.008 580 (21) cm^?1, p₁ = 0.008 52 (11) cm^?1, and $\text{ν}{}_0\text{= 1286.1281 (5)}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, with three standard errors in parentheses.     

The emission spectra of H35Cl+, H37Cl+, D35Cl+, and D37Cl+ in the region 2700–4100 Å

The $\text{A}{}^2\text{Σ}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{-X}{}^2\text{Π}$ emission spectrum of HCl⁺ has been measured and analyzed for four isotopic combinations. These analyses extend previous work and provide rotational constants for the v = 0–2 levels of the ground state and for the v = 0–9 levels of the excited state. RKR potentials have been determined for both states, although the upper state could not be fitted precisely to such a model. Calculated relative intensities based on these potentials demonstrated that the electronic transition moment must change rapidly with lower state vibrational quantum number. Although considerable caution should be exercised in applying the concept of equilibrium constants to the $\text{A}{}^2\text{Σ}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state, the following are the best estimates of these constants (in cm^?1) for the $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}$ state of H³⁵Cl⁺: B_e = 9.9406, ω_e = 2673.7, A_e = ? 643.7, and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.315}\text{A}\text{?}$. For the $\text{A}{}^2\text{Σ}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ state of H³⁵Cl: T_e = 28 628.08, B_e ～ 7.505, ω_e ～ 1606.5, and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.514}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Analysis of the (ν1 + ν2) and (ν2 + ν3) combination bands of ozone

The fine structures of the (ν₁ + ν₂) and (ν₂ + ν₃) combination bands of ozone in the 5.7-μm region have been recorded and analyzed. The two vibrational states are coupled through Coriolis and second-order distortion terms. The interaction has been treated by the numerical diagonalization of the secular determinant for the two coupled states. With the centrifugal distortion parameters fixed to the ground state values, the following constants have been obtained: ν₁ + ν₂ = 1796.26₆, A₁₁₀ = 3.610₄, B₁₁₀ = 0.4414₅, $\text{C}{}^1{}_{110}\text{= 0.3902}{}_9$, ν₂ + ν₃ = 1726.52₆, A₀₁₁ = 3.553₇, B₀₁₁ = 0.4398₂, $\text{C}{}^1{}_{011}\text{= 0.3884}{}_4$, Y₁₃ = ?0.46₆, and X₁₃ = ?0.01₀ cm^?1. In addition, the following anharmonic constants have been obtained: x₁₂ = ?7.82₁ and x₂₃ = ?16.49₄ cm^?1. The value of the dipole moment ratio, $\text{R =}\text{〈011|μ}{}_{\mathrm{z}}\text{|0〉}\text{〈110|μ}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{|0〉}$, is 1.30 ± 0.10.     

Radiative corrections to neutrino-lepton scattering in the SU(2)L ⊗ U(1) theory

The radiative corrections of O(α) to the final electron spectrum and the total cross sections for the processes $\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{+}\text{e}\text{→ ν}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{+}\text{e}\text{,}\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{+}\text{e}\text{→ ν}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{+}\text{e}\text{, ν}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{+}\text{e}\text{→ ν}\text{e}\text{+}\text{e and}\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{+}\text{e}$ are studied in the framework of the SU(2)_L ? U(1) theory. The electroweak corrections to the fisrt two processes are presented in two equivalent schemes in terms of (G_μ, sin²θ_w) and $\text{(G}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{,}\text{sin}{}^2\text{θ}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>w</mtext>}}\text{(m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>w</mtext>}}\text{))}$. As a byproduct, the relationship to O(α) between the basic parameters $\text{sin}{}^2\text{θ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>W</mtext>}}\text{≡ 1 ? m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>W</mtext>}}{}^2\text{/m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>Z</mtext>}}{}^2\text{and sin}{}^2\text{θ}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>W</mtext>}}\text{(m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>W</mtext>}}\text{)}$ (defined by modified minimal subtraction) is explicitly given. The QED corrections are evaluated in the extreme relativistic (ER) regime of the final electron (E′_e ? m_e) for the situation in which the bremsstrahlung photons are unobserved and unrestricted. The ER approximation allows us to obtain simple analytic expressions for the differential electron spectrum and the total cross sections. The relationship to O(G_Fα) between the spin-averaged differential cross sections for the above processes in the ER regime is derived.

The v = 1 ← 0 vibration-rotation bands of the NS radical in the $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ electronic states were observed by using a tunable diode laser. From the least-squares analysis the band origins were determined to be 1204.2755(12) and 1204.0892(19) cm^?1, respectively, for $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$. The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants and the internuclear distance in the X²Π electronic state were obtained as follows: B_e = 0.775549(10) cm^?1, D_e = 0.00000129(33) cm^?1, and $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.49403(4)}\text{A}\text{?}$, with three standard deviations indicated in parentheses.     

Determining the KS→3π amplitude in pp(OR e+e−)→K0K0

The amplitude ratio 〈3π|T|K_S〉/〈3π|T|K_L〉 can be well determined in e⁺e^? (or low energy $\text{p}\text{p}\text{)→K}{}^{\mathrm{o}}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{o}}$ from the decay time-distribution when each produced kaon→3π, other unknown parameters of the distribution being obtainable from corresponding observations involving known channels like ππ.     

A search for monojet events produced by virtual Z0 bosons in e+e− annihalation at petra

A search was performed for the associated production of two different Higgs bosons via a virtual Z⁰ in e⁺e^? annihilation (e⁺e^? → h₁⁰h₂⁰) using the JADE detector at PETRA. This was motivated by the interpretation of the monojet events observed at the CERN p$\text{p}$ collider as anomalous Z⁰ decays into two neutral Higgs bosons (h₁⁰ and h₂⁰), where h₁⁰ is stable and escapes detection while h₂⁰ decays into hadrons. Single- or di-jet events with large momentum imbalance are then expected at PETRA energies. No evidence for such events was found in our data; this excludes h₂⁰ masses in the range of 1 to 21 GeV with 95% CL, if the branching fraction for Z⁰ → h₁⁰h₂⁰ is a larger than one half that for $\text{Z}{}^0\text{→ v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{v}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}$. The possibility that the monojets could originate from supersymmetric higgsino production from Z⁰ decay is also examined.

Reorientational motion of the OH− ion in cubic sodium hydroxide

The rotational motion of the OH^? ion was studied in cubic NaOH at 575 K with quasielastic incoherent neutron scattering. The data are compared to two simple models yielding values for the radius of rotation R, the translational mean square displacement 〈u²〉_H, the rotational jump rate τ^?1 and the rotational diffusion coefficient D_R. The following parameter values are obtained: (a) rotational jump model: $\text{R = 0.95}\text{A}\text{?}$, $\text{〈u}{}^2\text{〉}{}_{\mathrm{H}}\text{= 0.052}\text{A}\text{?}{}^2\text{, τ}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{= 2}\text{meV}$, (b) rotational diffusion model: $\text{R = 0.99}\text{A}\text{?}\text{, 〈u}{}^2\text{〉}{}_{\mathrm{H}}\text{= 0.046}\text{A}\text{?}{}^2\text{, D}{}_{\mathrm{R}}\text{= 0.72}\text{meV}$.     

Theoretical analysis of the centrifugal distortion contributions to the rotational spectra of 2Π diatomics

The centrifugal distortion contributions to the rotational energies of diatomic molecules are derived from the resolution of the vibration-rotation wave equation. The unknown radial dependence of the fine structure constants is taken into account by means of a Taylor expansion around the equilibrium distance. Hence, one obtains the expressions of the centrifugal corrections associated with each fine structure constant in terms of the equilibrium values of its radial derivatives. The case of ²Π states is examined in detail. The dependence of the centrifugal distortion effects upon the choice of the coupling scheme representation is exhibited and a ²Π energy matrix containing the centrifugal constants of any order is proposed. Such a matrix is appropriate to fit the data for any value of the rotational quantum number. The theoretical expressions of the energy levels are related to the experimental data and the correlations between the spin-orbit centrifugal and spin-rotation contributions are put in evidence. It is shown that very compact formulas can be derived allowing a straightforward evaluation of the successive radial derivatives of the spin-orbit function in terms of the spectroscopic data $\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}\text{? ?α}{}_{\mathrm{A}}\text{(}\text{w}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{)}$; $\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{(2)}}\text{? ?(1 +}\text{α}{}_{\mathrm{B}}\text{w}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{2B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}{}^2\text{)A}{}^{\mathrm{(1)}}$; …. Application of these results to the case of several molecules is considered and discussed.     

Transition moment variation in the A2Σ+ → X2Πi transition of HCl+, DCl+ and HBr+

Relative emission intensities of sixteen bands of HCl⁺ (A²Σ⁺ - X²Π_i), four bands of DCl⁺ (A²Σ⁺ - X²Π_i), and 5 bands of HBr⁺ (A²Σ - X²Π_i) have been made using both ion-beam excitation and microwave discharge sources. Intensities were determined by comparison with computer-generated spectra. Treatment of the data within the r-centroid approximation shows that in HCl⁺ the electronic transition moment decreases strongly at large $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{v\prime v″}}$ [$\text{Re}\text{α}\text{exp}\text{(?3.6}\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{v\prime v″}}\text{)}\text{for 1.44}\text{A}\text{?}\text{< r}{}_{\mathrm{v\prime v″}}\text{< 1.82}\text{A}\text{?}$] but levels off at shorter $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{v\prime v″}}$. DCl⁺ data agree quantitatively with HCl⁺. The variation in the HBr⁺ moment is similar, with $\text{R}\text{e}\text{α}\text{exp}\text{[?4.5}\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{v\prime v″}}\text{]}\text{for 1.58}\text{A}\text{?}\text{<}\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{v\prime v″}}\text{< 1.78}\text{A}\text{?}$.
