Abstract
Using the resonance-enhanced multiphoton-ionization technique, we have identified the n P1/22(7n20), P3/22(7n23), and F5/2,7/22(5n21) Rydberg states following photodissociation of TlI. The P1/2,3/22 spin-orbit splitting can be resolved and well compared to its theoretical counterpart with an accuracy of 3.5%. In terms of photoionization-cross-section prediction, we have also satisfactorily interpreted the discrepancy for the relative ionization intensity, via the respective intermediate P3/22 and P1/22(n11) doublets, from their statistical weight. © 1992 The American Physical Society.
