Abstract

Expressions for the angular distributions of electrons in the excitation of O₂ to the a ¹ Delta _g and to the b ¹ Sigma _g⁺ states are given. Assuming that both processes proceed via the O₂^- ² Pi _g state, theory agrees very well with experiment. Further, the mechanism for the parity unfavoured ³ Sigma _g^- to ¹ Sigma _g⁺ transition is demonstrated to be rotational-electronic coupling.
