Abstract

Heavy Rydberg behaviour and absolute quantum defects are reported for resonances in the ungerade manifold of H2 above the (1s,3l)(1s,3l) dissociation limit. The continuity of the vibrational progression of the View the MathML sourceB″B¯ state through the crossing with the 3p3p asymptote is demonstrated and a predominantly diabatic picture of the vibrational motion emerges, indicating that the ion-pair resonances possess little View the MathML source61Σu+ state character.
