A recently measured two photon excitation spectrum of H3 np Rydberg series[1] converging to the (1,00) vibrationally excited H3+ ionic level has been analysed. A first photon excites the long-lived vibrationless metastable state 2pA2" (N=0,K=0) to the vibrationally excited 3sA1′ (N=1,K=0) intermediate state while the second photon populates autoionizing np Rydberg states below the N+=1 ionic limit (quasidiscrete spectrum), between the N+=1 and N+=3 limits (Beutler-Fano region) and above the N+=3 limit (structured continuum). Our MQDT[2] calculation, based on a highly accurate Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces of H3, predicts the photoexcitation cross-section to the np Rydberg states in these three spectral regions. The rotational, vibrational and Jahn-Teller interactions between ionization channels are explicitly included in this model. Numerous vibrational interlopers with low principal quantum number appear in the experimental spectrum and are reproduced in the MQDT simulation, permitting the tentative assignment of these states. This work is supported by the DFG (SFB 276, TP C13).
