Resonances in electron scattering from CO

Abstract
An electron impact spectrometer has been employed to study resonance phenomena associated with the 10.04 eV Feshbach resonance of CO. The 2 Sigma + symmetry of this resonant state is confirmed and strong evidence indicates the b3 Sigma + and B1 Sigma + states as parents. A 2 Sigma + resonance at threshold and two shape resonances are observed in the b3 Sigma + nu '=0 level excitation cross section at 10.7 eV and 11.2 eV, the 10.7 eV resonance is shown to have 2 Pi symmetry. Other Feshbach resonances are detected at 11.3 eV and 12.2 eV.
