Abstract
In order to study the effect of photoelectron kinetic energy on rotational photoionization propensity rules, rotationally resolved laser photoelectron spectra were measured for excitation of specific rovibronic levels in the D 2Sigma+ (3psigma) Rydberg state of NO and their subsequent ionization by radiation at several wavelengths. The measured and calculated ion rotational branching ratios both show a significant dependence on photoelectron energy. Comparison between experimental data and theoretical calculations suggests that a strong DeltaN=0 peak in the spectra is caused by an interaction between particular vibronic levels of the A 2Sigma+ (v=4) and D 2Sigma+ (v=0) Rydberg states.
