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

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

Two emission systems of BS

Two new systems of emission bands near 2100 and 3100 Å have been produced by a microwave discharge in B₂S₃ vapor. From the known X²Σ⁺ and A²Π_i states of BS, these systems have been assigned as E²Σ⁺ → X²Σ⁺ and E²Σ⁺ → A²Π_i. Constants in cm^?1 for the new state are

$\text{E}{}^2\text{∑}{}^{\mathrm{\pm }}\text{: T}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 47 929.3, B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 0.671 (λ}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.752 A), α}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 0.008}$

Visible and near-infrared electronic transitions in NCl and NBr

The reactions of mixtures of halogen atoms (F + (Cl or Br)) with molecular azides produce banded emissions in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum. The observed features correspond to b¹Σ⁺ → X³Σ^? and a¹Δ → X³Σ^? transitions, respectively, in NCl and NBr. The data obtained represent the first spectroscopic observation of the a¹Δ states of these molecules. The molecular constants of the a¹Δ states were determined to have the following values:

J.C.D. Brand  U.D. Deshpande  A.R. Hoy  S.M. Jaywant  E.J. Woods 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1983,99(2):339-347

Molecular constants of the first E 0⁺ ion-pair state of IBr vapor have been determined using polarization-labeling spectroscopy applied to the sequential transitions E 0⁺ ← B′ 0⁺ ← X 0⁺, while the second f 0⁺ ion-pair state is reported and characterized for the first time. A least-squares, simultaneous analysis of data for the I⁷⁹Br and I⁸¹Br isotopes gives the following constants (in cm^?1) for I⁷⁹Br:

C Amiot  C Effantin  J d&#x;Incan  J Verges 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1978,72(2):189-199

The investigation of the emission infrared spectrum of P₂ was performed with a high resolution Fourier spectrometer. Two new electronic systems were attributed to b³Π_g → w³Δ_u and A¹Π_g → W¹Δ_u transitions. The molecular parameters are obtained by a complete fitting procedure.

Fourier spectrometry: Rovibrational analysis of an infrared ${}^1\text{Π}\text{→}{}^1\text{Σ}$ system of yttrium monoiodide     

A. Bernard  S. Roux  J. Verges 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1980,80(2):374-383

The infrared spectrum of yttrium monoiodide has been excited in an electrodeless microwave discharge and explored between 2500 and 12 000cm^?1 with a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer. A unique system is observed (ν₀₀ = 9905.520 cm^?1), which we attribute to a ${}^1\text{Π}\text{→}{}^1\text{Σ}$ transition and an extensive analysis is made. Rovibrational constants are obtained for both states mainly from a simultaneous multiband fitting. This procedure is applied to the whole set of 2231 observed line wavenumbers in the 1-0, 0-0, and 0–1 bands, yielding a final weighted standard deviation of 0.0038 cm^?1. Furthermore, a partial analysis of the 2-0 and 3-1 bands is performed. The following equilibrium constants are derived (cm^?1):

$\text{ω′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=192.210 ω′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{x′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.463}$

$\text{B′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0399133 α′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0001150}$

$\text{ω″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=215.815 ω″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{x″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.514}$

$\text{B″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0422163 α″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0001125}$

High-order constants D_v and H_v are also calculated for the various vibrational levels (v′ = 0, 1, 2, 3; v″ = 0, 1).

Keiji Matsumura  Kentarou Kawaguchi  Keiichi Nagai  Chikashi Yamada  Eizi Hirota 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1980,84(1):68-73

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.

R.N. Dixon  M.R. Gunson 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1983,101(2):369-378

Laser-induced fluorescence excitation has been used to measure Stark splittings of selected lines in the $\text{A}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_2\text{-}\text{X}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_1$ and $\text{a}\text{?}{}^3\text{A}{}_2\text{-}\text{X}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_2$ band systems of H₂CS in electric fields up to 13 kV/cm. The derived excited state a-axis dipole moments are 0.820 ± 0.007 D for the 4¹ level of the ¹A₂ state; 0.838 ± 0.008 D for the zeroth vibrational level of ¹A₂; and 0.534 ± 0.015 D for the zeroth vibrational level of the ³A₂ state. These results are compared with the corresponding values of H₂CO, and interpreted in terms of the changing localization of the π and $\text{π}{}^1$ orbitals accompanying electronic excitation.

Li Li  S.F. Rice  R.W. Field 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1984,105(2):344-350

The absolute vibrational numbering of the Na₂b³Π_u state has been established by direct observation of the v = 0–13 levels. These b³Π_u levels appear as the lower levels in rotationally resolved fluorescence spectra resulting from OODR excitation of ³Π_g, ³Δ_g, and ³Σ_g⁺ states via b³Π_u ～ A¹Σ_u⁺ mixed intermediate levels. The molecular constants for the Na₂b³Π_u state are (in cm^?1, one standard error in parentheses)

	NCl	NBr
$\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{e}}$	9260 ± 10 cm?1	9226 ± 10 cm?1

Kentarou Kawaguchi  Chikashi Yamada  Yoshiaki Hamada  Eizi Hirota 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1981,86(1):136-142

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.

Laser-induced fluorescence of Cs₂ molecules in the infrared (1.15–2.5 μm) and the visible (505–545 nm) regions has been observed using several excitation wavelengths from an argonion laser. Accurate molecular constants and potential energy curves for the pumped E¹Σ_u⁺ state and the first excited gerade ¹Π state are derived from more than 1300 fluorescence lines precisely measured with a high-resolution Fourier transform interferometer. The main molecular constants for the states are

The decay K⁺ → e⁺υγ has been investigated. For the structure-dependent part with positive γ-helicity (SD₊) the branching ratio $\text{Γ(}\text{SD}{}_{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}\text{Γ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{\mu 2}}\text{) = (2.33 ± 0.42) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}$ is obtained from 51 ± 3 events observed in the kinematical region E_e ? 235 MeV, E_γ > 48 MeV and θ_eγ > 140°. For the corresponding part with negative γ-helicity we obtain an upper limit Γ(SD_?)/Γ(SD₊) < 11 (90% CL) from the sample of electrons with energies 220 MeV ? E_e < 230 MeV and with no γ in the backward direction. This upper limit implies that the ratio of structure-dependent axial vector amplitudes lies outside the region $\text{?1.8 < a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{υ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{< ?0.54}$.For the decay $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{→}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{νν}\text{ν}$ the limit $\text{Γ(}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{→}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{νν}\text{ν}\text{)/Γ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{e2}}\text{) < 3.8}$ 90% confidence level) was found.

Experimental limits on the mass and decay lifetime of νμ     

Virgil E. Barnes 《Physics letters. [Part B]》1976,65(2):174-176

The nonobservation of photon-induced e⁺e^? pairs pointing in the neutrino beam direction in large bubble chambers would allow one to set an upper limit on the product m_νμλ^CM for muon-type neutrinos, where m_νμ is the mass and λ^CM is the intrinsic partial decay width in sec^?1 for ν_μ→γ+X. In the theory of Eliezer and Ross where , this implies an upper limit on m_νμ considerably smaller than the present upper limit, and a large lower limit on the lifetime τ_νμ.

W. Steffen  H.-D. Gräf  W. Gross  D. Meuer  A. Richter  E. Spamer  O. Titze  W. Knüpfer 《Physics letters. [Part B]》1980,95(1):23-26

The search for magnetic dipole transitions from the ground state-even Ca isotopes to high lying J^π=1⁺ states by means of low momentum transfer but high resolution inelastic electron scattering is described. The previously detected strongly excited J^π=1⁺ state E_X=10.319 MeV [B(M1)↑=1.12±0.27μ_K²] in ⁴⁰Ca has been confirmed, but - contrary to the expectations of the independent particle shell model - only a fairly weak M1 transition is observed in ${}^{42}\text{Ca [E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>X</mtext>}}\text{= 11.235}\text{MeV}\text{, B(}\text{M}\text{1)↑=0.59±0.05 μ}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{]}$ and none in ⁴⁴Ca between E_{X=8.2?12.2 MeV}. In ⁴⁸Ca, however, a very strong M1 transition [B(M1) ↑ = 4.0 ± 0.3 μ²_K] to a single state at E_X=10.227 MeV has been discovered.

The resonant 2-photon E(O⁺_g) ← B(O⁺_g) ← X(O⁺_g) transition of I₂ vapor has been studied by polarization spectroscopy, leading to a rotational analysis of the ν = 0–15 vibrational levels of the E state. The principal constants determined are $\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 19.9738(42) × 10}{}^{-3}\text{, α}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 5.602(84) × 10}{}^{-5}\text{, γ}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.02(41) × 10}{}^{-7}\text{, D}{}^{\mathrm{e}}{}_{\mathrm{J}}\text{= 3.040(74) × 10}{}^{-9}\text{cm}{}^{-1}\text{, and r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.6470(5)}\text{A}\text{?}$.

K.S. Viswanathan  Abha Sur  Joel Tellinghuisen 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1981,86(2):393-405

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, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.

The vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectrum of ClO     

N. Basco  R.D. Morse 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1973,45(1):35-45

The flash photolysis of ClO₂ has yielded a new absorption spectrum of ClO in the vacuum ultraviolet. Six electronic transitions have been assigned and vibrational constants for the upper states are given. All of the transitions are Rydberg in nature. The first four of these transitions are thought to be ²Σ ← X²Π_i from which a spin-orbit coupling constant A = ?318 ± 5 cm^?1 is obtained for the ground state.Hot bands in three of the above systems of ClO have been observed in absorption. This has enabled the direct measurement of the ground state vibrational constant ($\text{Δ}\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{″ = 845 ± 4}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$; ω_e″ = 859 cm^?1) for the first time.Extinction coefficients for a number of the ClO transitions have been measured.

P.F. Bernath  R.W. Field  B. Pinchemel  Y. Lefebvre  J. Schamps 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1981,88(1):175-193

Laser excitation spectra have been recorded for Ca⁷⁹Br and Ca⁸¹Br in the spectral region 600–630 nm. The use of a 1-m monochromator as a narrow band pass filter (1–2 cm^?1) has allowed rotational analysis of the 0-0, 1-1, and 2-2 bands of the B²Σ⁺ - X²Σ⁺ transition and the 0-0 and 1-1 bands of the A²Π - X²Σ⁺ transition. A few additional lines of the 0-1, 1-2, 1-0, and 2-1 bands of the B-X system were used to obtain band origins for vibrational analysis. The main constants for Ca⁷⁹Br are (in cm^?1):

A least-squares, simultaneous analysis of data for the I⁷⁹Br and I⁸¹Br isotopes gives the following constants (in cm^?1) for I⁷⁹Br:

Fourier spectrometry: Rovibrational analysis of an infrared 1Π → 1Σ system of yttrium monoiodide

The infrared spectrum of yttrium monoiodide has been excited in an electrodeless microwave discharge and explored between 2500 and 12 000cm^?1 with a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer. A unique system is observed (ν₀₀ = 9905.520 cm^?1), which we attribute to a ${}^1\text{Π}\text{→}{}^1\text{Σ}$ transition and an extensive analysis is made. Rovibrational constants are obtained for both states mainly from a simultaneous multiband fitting. This procedure is applied to the whole set of 2231 observed line wavenumbers in the 1-0, 0-0, and 0–1 bands, yielding a final weighted standard deviation of 0.0038 cm^?1. Furthermore, a partial analysis of the 2-0 and 3-1 bands is performed. The following equilibrium constants are derived (cm^?1):

$\text{ω′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=192.210 ω′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{x′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.463}$

$\text{B′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0399133 α′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0001150}$

$\text{ω″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=215.815 ω″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{x″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.514}$

$\text{B″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0422163 α″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{=0.0001125}$

High-order constants D_v and H_v are also calculated for the various vibrational levels (v′ = 0, 1, 2, 3; v″ = 0, 1).     

Infrared diode laser spectroscopy of the NS radical

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.     

The dipole moment of thioformaldehyde in its singlet and triplet π1 − n excited states

Laser-induced fluorescence excitation has been used to measure Stark splittings of selected lines in the $\text{A}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_2\text{-}\text{X}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_1$ and $\text{a}\text{?}{}^3\text{A}{}_2\text{-}\text{X}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_2$ band systems of H₂CS in electric fields up to 13 kV/cm. The derived excited state a-axis dipole moments are 0.820 ± 0.007 D for the 4¹ level of the ¹A₂ state; 0.838 ± 0.008 D for the zeroth vibrational level of ¹A₂; and 0.534 ± 0.015 D for the zeroth vibrational level of the ³A₂ state. These results are compared with the corresponding values of H₂CO, and interpreted in terms of the changing localization of the π and $\text{π}{}^1$ orbitals accompanying electronic excitation.     

Observation of the v = 0–13 levels of Na2b3Πu by OODR 3Λg-b3Πu fluorescence spectroscopy

The absolute vibrational numbering of the Na₂b³Π_u state has been established by direct observation of the v = 0–13 levels. These b³Π_u levels appear as the lower levels in rotationally resolved fluorescence spectra resulting from OODR excitation of ³Π_g, ³Δ_g, and ³Σ_g⁺ states via b³Π_u ～ A¹Σ_u⁺ mixed intermediate levels. The molecular constants for the Na₂b³Π_u state are (in cm^?1, one standard error in parentheses)

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.

Accurate molecular constants and potential energy curves for the pumped E¹Σ_u⁺ state and the first excited gerade ¹Π state are derived from more than 1300 fluorescence lines precisely measured with a high-resolution Fourier transform interferometer. The main molecular constants for the states are

An experimental investigation of the radiative structure decay K+ → e+υγ

The decay K⁺ → e⁺υγ has been investigated. For the structure-dependent part with positive γ-helicity (SD₊) the branching ratio $\text{Γ(}\text{SD}{}_{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}\text{Γ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{\mu 2}}\text{) = (2.33 ± 0.42) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}$ is obtained from 51 ± 3 events observed in the kinematical region E_e ? 235 MeV, E_γ > 48 MeV and θ_eγ > 140°. For the corresponding part with negative γ-helicity we obtain an upper limit Γ(SD_?)/Γ(SD₊) < 11 (90% CL) from the sample of electrons with energies 220 MeV ? E_e < 230 MeV and with no γ in the backward direction. This upper limit implies that the ratio of structure-dependent axial vector amplitudes lies outside the region $\text{?1.8 < a}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{υ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{< ?0.54}$.For the decay $\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{→}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{νν}\text{ν}$ the limit $\text{Γ(}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{→}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{νν}\text{ν}\text{)/Γ(}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{e2}}\text{) < 3.8}$ 90% confidence level) was found.     

Experimental limits on the mass and decay lifetime of νμ

The nonobservation of photon-induced e⁺e^? pairs pointing in the neutrino beam direction in large bubble chambers would allow one to set an upper limit on the product m_νμλ^CM for muon-type neutrinos, where m_νμ is the mass and λ^CM is the intrinsic partial decay width in sec^?1 for ν_μ→γ+X. In the theory of Eliezer and Ross where , this implies an upper limit on m_νμ considerably smaller than the present upper limit, and a large lower limit on the lifetime τ_νμ.     

Backward-angle high-resolution inelastic electron scattering on 40, 42, 44, 48Ca and observation of a very strong magnetic dipole ground-state transition in 48Ca

The search for magnetic dipole transitions from the ground state-even Ca isotopes to high lying J^π=1⁺ states by means of low momentum transfer but high resolution inelastic electron scattering is described. The previously detected strongly excited J^π=1⁺ state E_X=10.319 MeV [B(M1)↑=1.12±0.27μ_K²] in ⁴⁰Ca has been confirmed, but - contrary to the expectations of the independent particle shell model - only a fairly weak M1 transition is observed in ${}^{42}\text{Ca [E}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>X</mtext>}}\text{= 11.235}\text{MeV}\text{, B(}\text{M}\text{1)↑=0.59±0.05 μ}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>K</mtext>}}\text{]}$ and none in ⁴⁴Ca between E_{X=8.2?12.2 MeV}. In ⁴⁸Ca, however, a very strong M1 transition [B(M1) ↑ = 4.0 ± 0.3 μ²_K] to a single state at E_X=10.227 MeV has been discovered.     

Rotational constants of the E O+g state of I2 determined by polarization spectroscopy

The resonant 2-photon E(O⁺_g) ← B(O⁺_g) ← X(O⁺_g) transition of I₂ vapor has been studied by polarization spectroscopy, leading to a rotational analysis of the ν = 0–15 vibrational levels of the E state. The principal constants determined are $\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 19.9738(42) × 10}{}^{-3}\text{, α}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 5.602(84) × 10}{}^{-5}\text{, γ}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.02(41) × 10}{}^{-7}\text{, D}{}^{\mathrm{e}}{}_{\mathrm{J}}\text{= 3.040(74) × 10}{}^{-9}\text{cm}{}^{-1}\text{, and r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.6470(5)}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

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, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

The vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectrum of ClO

The flash photolysis of ClO₂ has yielded a new absorption spectrum of ClO in the vacuum ultraviolet. Six electronic transitions have been assigned and vibrational constants for the upper states are given. All of the transitions are Rydberg in nature. The first four of these transitions are thought to be ²Σ ← X²Π_i from which a spin-orbit coupling constant A = ?318 ± 5 cm^?1 is obtained for the ground state.Hot bands in three of the above systems of ClO have been observed in absorption. This has enabled the direct measurement of the ground state vibrational constant ($\text{Δ}\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{″ = 845 ± 4}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$; ω_e″ = 859 cm^?1) for the first time.Extinction coefficients for a number of the ClO transitions have been measured.     

Laser spectroscopy of CaBr: A2Π-X2Σ+ and B2Σ+-X2Σ+ systems

Laser excitation spectra have been recorded for Ca⁷⁹Br and Ca⁸¹Br in the spectral region 600–630 nm. The use of a 1-m monochromator as a narrow band pass filter (1–2 cm^?1) has allowed rotational analysis of the 0-0, 1-1, and 2-2 bands of the B²Σ⁺ - X²Σ⁺ transition and the 0-0 and 1-1 bands of the A²Π - X²Σ⁺ transition. A few additional lines of the 0-1, 1-2, 1-0, and 2-1 bands of the B-X system were used to obtain band origins for vibrational analysis. The main constants for Ca⁷⁹Br are (in cm^?1):

The bond distance is $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{= 3.194}\text{A}\text{?}$, and the diabatic dissociation energy to $\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_2\text{) +}\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S}{}_0\text{)}\text{is 34 700 cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$.
