Wave packet studies of predissociation in H3 Rydberg states

The predissociation of H3 Rydberg states by the two lowest electronic states of H3 is studied using time‐dependent wave packet techniques. The final vibrational state distribution function and branching ratios between two‐ and three‐body channels are calculated within a two‐dimensional approximation. The effect of initial vibrational excitation on these distributions is studied, and comparison is made to recent experiments.
