Abstract

Linearly polarized synchrotron radiation (1100-1700 A) is used to photodissociated ICN, and emission from the CN (B 2Σ+) fragment is analyzed for its degree of polarization, which is found to vary between 0 and 8%. This measurement establishes the direction of the absorption transition dipole moment in the molecular frame.
