PES:
Where should PES peaks due to CH3I# -> CH3I+(3/2,v2=0 & 1) appear?
Determine more I** threshold levels for the PESs near the strongest peaks; It looks as if signals due to ionization of many levels are piling up/overlapping in that that region (see energy levels)
I+ KER:
Seem to be two contributions: 1) –from the I**(2D) states (Higher KER) and 2) – from higher enery I**states (Lower KER) (see levels in slide 87)
CH3+ KER:
Seem to be two (or more) contributions: 1) Low KER and 2) High KER (see slide 89).
