Abstract
Photodissociation processes of the HO2 radical were studied using the Xe resonance line at 147 nm as an excitation source. HO2 was produced by a three‐body reaction process H+O2+He → HO2+He in a flow tube. The photoexcitation processes for various chemical species in the flow tube that could produce optical emission were investigated. An emission band in the 310±10 nm region has been observed, which is attributed to the OH(A 2Σ+X 2Π) system produced from photodissociation of HO2.
