A dynamical model of weak bosons is presented by taking an analogy of the diatomic molecule. We tentatively assume that the weak bosons now observed are the ground state of the vibrational levels, and expect the possible existence of the exotic weak bosons which correspond to the excited vibrational states, say, 270 GeV, 450 GeV, … The observabilities of these exotic weak bosons are discussed.

The high-lying vibrational states of the magnesium dimer (Mg2), which has been recognized as an important system in studies of ultracold and collisional phenomena, have eluded experimental characterization for half a century. Until now, only the first 14 vibrational states of Mg2 have been experimentally resolved, although it has been suggested that the ground-state potential may support five additional levels. Here, we present highly accurate ab initio potential energy curves based on state-of-the-art coupled-cluster and full configuration interaction computations for the ground and excited electronic states involved in the experimental investigations of Mg2. Our ground-state potential unambiguously confirms the existence of 19 vibrational levels, with ~1 cm−1 root mean square deviation between the calculated rovibrational term values and the available experimental and experimentally derived data. Our computations reproduce the latest laser-induced fluorescence spectrum and provide guidance for the experimental detection of the previously unresolved vibrational levels.

An analysis of the degree of convergence of theoretical pictures of the dynamics of the autoionization event He(23S)-D2(v" = 0) -> [He...D2+(v')] + e is presented for a number of batches of Monte Carlo calculations differing in the number of the trajectories run. The treatment of the dynamics consists in 2D classical trajectory calculations based on static characteristics which include a quantum mechanical treatment of the perturbed D2(v" = 0) and D2+(v') vibrational motion. The vibrational populations are dynamical averages over the local widths of the He(23S)-D2(v" = 0) state with respect to autoionization to D2+(...He) in its v'th vibrational level and the Penning electron energies are related to the local differences between the energies of the corresponding perturbed D2(v" = 0)(...He*) and D2+(v')(...He) vibrational states. Special attention is paid to the connection between the requirements on the degree of convergence of the classical trajectory picture of the event and the purpose of the calculations. Information is obtained regarding a scale of the trajectory calculations required for physically sensible applications of the model to an interpretation of different type of experiments on the system: total ionization cross section measurements, Penning ionization electron spectra, subsequent 3D classical trajectory calculations of branching ratios of the products of the postionization collision process, and interpretation of electron ion coincidence measurements of the product branching ratios for individual vibrational levels of the nascent Penning ion.

The adiabatic three-dimensional potential energy surface and the corresponding dipole moment surface describing the ground electronic state of HN2+ (Χ1Σ+) are calculated at different levels of ab initio theory. The calculations cover the entire bound part of the potential up to its lowest dissociation channel including the isomerization barrier. Energies of all bound vibrational and low-lying ro-vibrational levels are determined in a fully variational procedure using the Suttcliffe-Tennyson Hamiltonian for triatomic molecules. They are in close agreement with the available experimental numbers. From the dipole moment function effective dipoles and transition moments are obtained for all the calculated vibrational and ro-vibrational states. Statistical tools such as the density of states or the nearest-neighbor level spacing distribution (NNSD) are applied to describe and analyse general patterns and characteristics of the energy and dipole results calculated for the massively large number of states of the strongly bound HN2+ ion and its deuterated isotopomer.


Nine vibrational absorption bands of dideutero-acetylene have been examined with very high resolving power. The rotational constants have been determined for the vibrational levels concerned, and the coefficients α i have been determined with more convincing accuracy than previously. In some of the bands the Q branches have been resolved, so that the l -doubling coefficients q i could be derived, and details could be established about the doublet components in some II levels. The results emphasize the need of high resolution if the vibrational assignments are to be unambiguous, and if reliable values of the rotational constants are to be derived. A value of B e has been obtained, and the vibrational anharmonicity coefficients have been considered briefly. Estimates of the centrifugal stretching constants D i in different vibrational states have been made, and one anomalous case has been found.

The Lyman bands of H2 have been investigated under high resolution with a view to improving the rotational and vibrational constants of H2 in its ground state. Precise Bv and ΔG values have been obtained for all vibrational levels of the ground state. One or two of the highest rotational levels of the last vibrational level (v = 14) lie above the dissociation limit. Both the [Formula: see text] and ΔG″ curves have a point of inflection at about v″ = 3. This makes it difficult to represent the whole course of each of these curves by a single formula and therefore makes the resulting equilibrium constants somewhat uncertain. This uncertainty is not very great for the rotational constants for which we find[Formula: see text]but is considerable for the vibrational constants ωe and ωexe for which three-, four-, five-, and six-term formulae give results diverging by ± 1 cm−1. The rotational and vibrational constants for the upper state [Formula: see text] of the Lyman bands are also determined. An appreciable correction to the position of the upper state is found.

Certain infrared absorption features in tritiated as well as proton-irradiated samples of solid deuterium have been attributed to the formation of bubblelike electronic states localized in the lattice. These bubblelike states are shown to be energetically stable in the Wigner–Seitz model of the crystal and the gap between the ground-state energies in the bubble and the quasi-free states of the electron is calculated. An initial trapping of the electron by a vacancy is assumed in calculating the localized state energy. Calculations based on a continuum model of the solid yield the radius of such bubbles to close agreement with that obtained from the observed Stark shift of the vibrational levels of the neighbouring molecules due to the localized electrons. The model is used to interpret the radiation-induced absorption in proton-irradiated solid deuterium in the spectral region 4000–7500 cm−1.
