| Abstract | In the photoelectron spectrum of N2 the apparent ionization energy to form the B 2Sigmau+ state increases linearly with the photon energy. Rotationally resolved measurements of the fluorescent decay of this state show a linear increase of rotational heating with increasing photon energy. These results are in quantitative agreement with the prediction of the theory of recoil-induced rotational excitation, indicating that the rotational heating that has been observed previously arises primarily from such recoil-induced excitation. Together with other results that have been reported they show that recoil-induced internal excitation is significant in many situations, including near thresh |
