The Photodissociation of HCOHCO is an important radical in atmospheric
chemistry and combustion. We have studied its dissociation
to give H + CO, particularly through long-lived resonances accessed by
stimulated emission pumping. The excellent agreement between theory and experiment confirm how well this
system is understood.
The figure above shows the HCO potential energy surface.
