Sections efficaces partielles de photoionisation mesurées et calculées pour CO entre 15 et 40 eV.

Vibrationally resolved partial photoionization cross sections of CO have been measured and theoretical partial cross sections have been calculated using the method of Raseev et al. and the two-step MQDT formulation of Giusti-Suzor and Lefebvre-Brion. We discuss the physical nature of the shape resonances appearing in the epsilon-sigma continua and we analyze their vibrational selectivity. A new assignment of the Rydberg series converging to CO+(B2Sigma+) is suggested and their electronic and vibrational selectivity is discussed
