Abstract
The lifetimes of 108 different rotational levels of the OH A state (υ = 0-2) have been measured at high spectral resolution using the High Frequency Deflection technique. From these lifetimes the variation of the electronic transition moment is deduced as well as the predissociation rates for levels above the dissociation limit and the formation rate of OH through inverse predissociation.Keywords
