Abstract

Isotopic studies of multiphoton ionization of

N_{2}

O give clear evidence for a significant atomic site selectivity in the production of atomic fragments. The observation of the diatomic fragments

N_{2}^{+}

and

{NO}^{+}

suggests a possible role for curve-crossing mechanisms that could lead to electronically excited fragments.
