Abstract
The autodetchment spectrumof decaying HD- and D-2(-) has been recorded with a velocity-map imaging spectrometer. Coincident detection of the neutral molecule permits the selection of events occuring in the center of the spectrometer.
The discrete features of the spectrum are assigned to transitions between well denuded ro-vibrational levels. Energies, lifetimes and branching ratir,s predicted with the nonlocal potential framework developed for associative detachment satisfactorily reproduce the experimental results.
