description

A short-lived compound state of the systeme-H2 in the energy region from 13.5 to 15 eV has been investigated. It desintegrates preferably into theC 1 π u v=0, 1, 2, 3,... vibrational states of H2. Excitation functions and angular dependences of these states have been measured. The H2 vibrational levels are situated at 13.63, 13.93, 14.20, 14.70, 14.92,... eV. The shape of the potential energy curve and the internuclear distance of the compound state should be very similar to that of theC 1 π u resp.D 1 π u state ofH 2.
