Abstract
The technique of resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization with time-of-flight mass resolution has been used to measure the two-photon absorption spectrum of HBr. We have analyzed 37 bands and assigned them to transitions to the valence, ion-pair state and to Rydberg states belonging to the sσ, pσ, dσ, pπ, dπ, and dδ manifolds. Our results are in excellent agreement with the earlier work of Ginter, Ginter, and Tilford. In addition, we have analyzed twelve new electronic states as well as numerous bands of vibrationally excited levels of previously known electronic states. Strong mixing was observed among the 0+ states.Keywords
