ABSTRACT
Absorption and photoionization spectra of H2 have been recorded at a resolution of 0.09 and 0.04 cm(-1), respectively, between 125,600 cm(-1) and 126,000 cm(-1). The observed Rydberg states belong to series (n = 10 - 14) converging on the first vibrationally excited level of the X (2)Σ(g)(+) state of H2(+), and of lower members of series converging on higher vibrational levels. The observed resonances are characterized by the competition between autoionization, predissociation, and fluorescence. The unprecedented resolution of the present experimental data leads to a full characterization of the predissociation/autoionization profiles of many resonances that had not been resolved previously. Multichannel quantum defect theory is used to predict the line positions, widths, shapes, and intensities of the observed spectra and is found to yield quantitative agreement using previously determined quantum defect functions as the unique set of input parameters.
