Abstract

The lifetime and predissociation probabilities of various rotational levels of the A²Σ⁺ state of OD were measured. A strong predissocation at N' = 35 was observed. This predissocation could be explained by the level crossing of the A²Σ⁺ state with the repulsive ⁴Σ^- state which are mixed by a weak spin-orbit interaction.
