QUANTUM DEFECT THEORY IONIZATION CHANNELS OF SUPER-EXCITED MOLECULE SO₂

The structure of Rydberg states can be described by a compact set of physical parameters in Quantum Defect Theory. We here present our theoretical calculations of the physical parameters for the triatomic molecule SO₂. As an illustrative example, we also compare our theoretical results with the experimental spectra below the sulfer L_II,III edges in SO₂. They are in good agreement.
