Absolute cross sections of three competing decay channels, namely ionization, dissociation and fluorescence, were determined after excitation of superexcited states of the hydrogen molecule. The experimental data was recorded by irradiating H2 with VUV photons (14.8 eV - 16 eV) at the U125/2-10m-NIM beamline (BESSY II, Berlin).
In addition to the absolute cross section of the decay processes: autoionization σion, predissociation σdis and molecular fluorescence σfluo the absolute absorption cross section σabs was determined. Measuring the complete cross section data set of absorption and all decay channels, this experiment allows a cross validation of the individual decay channels. The measured data has been compared to MQDT calculation and allows the identification of the intermediate superexcited molecular states.
