Abstract

High-resolution imaging experiments combined with new electronic structure and dynamics calculations strongly indicate that the O(³P)+O₂ products with very low kinetic energy release (E_tr2: A' ³Δ_u(v=0, 1, 2) and A ³Σ⁺_u(v=0, 1). This interpretation contradicts the earlier assignment to very high (v≥26) vibrational states of O²(³Σ^-_g).
