A comparison of scattering and L2 photodetachment Franck–Condon factors for reduced dimensionality ClHCl→ Cl + HCl + e

Abstract

We present two calculations of the Franck–Condon factors describing the photodetachment of ClHCl to form Cl + HCl plus an electron. Both calculations are made using a reduced dimensionality Hamiltonian based on an adiabatic treatment of the three-atom, internal bending motion. One calculation, the rigorous one, is a reactive scattering calculation, employing hyperspherical coordinates. The other calculation is based on an L2 approximation to the continuum Cl + HCl wavefunctions. The Franck–Condon factors, resonance energies and wave-functions from both calculations are compared.
