Abstract
Using the merged-beams technique, O+ photofragment yield spectra from photofragmentation of CO+ were measured at photon energies ranging from 20.5 to 34.5 eV. Resonant structures are identified as members of Rydberg series belonging to electronic core excited states of the C+ + O+ fragmentation channel. Additional structures originating from initial vibrational excitations of the CO+ beam have also been identified. Lower-bound values for the CO+ photofragmentation cross sections are estimated based on trajectory simulations for the apparatus and on known photofragment angular distributions.
