Abstract

Non-vanishing fragment electronic angular momentum implies the existence of non-adiabatic interactions between adiabatic moleular electronic states that become degenerate at large internuclear separations Our generalized theory of photodissociation is used to illustrate how cross sections and angular distributions for individual fine structure levels can be used to probe the presence ot non-adiabatic contributions to photodissociation.
