Predicted predissociation linewidths in the Schumann-Runge bands of O2 compared with recent high resolution measurements

Abstract

The fine-structure predissociation linewidths for the Schumann-Runge bands were evaluated by the model of Julienne and krauss. The parameters were adjusted and modified to account for the fine-structure data for rotational states of vibrational levels v=0-2, 9-12. The standard deviation of the predicted widths was calculated using the fine-structure data. Green's function method was used to obtain the shifts at the band heads. The analysis showed good agreement between the measured widths and widths obtained using the modified parameters.published_or_final_versio
