Summary on Grant Application Form
Spectral accuracy of better than 1 cm-1 for hydrogen contain molecules cannot be achieved within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We will include relativistic and non-adiabaatic effects into our treatment of the vibration-rotation spectra of small molecules using water and H3+ as prototypes. Unassigned spectra of water will be analysed and assigned. Spectra of H3+ at its dissociation limit will be generated to help explain unassigned photodissociation spectra. A new method for variational calculations on the vibration-rotation motion in methane will be developed. Data obtained. Particularly for water, will be made freely available to other scientists.
