Title: Non-Franck-Condon transitions in the electron impact excitation of molecules. II. Semi-empirical approach: transitions in H<sub>2</sub>
Abstract: For pt.I see ibid., vol.14, p.4389 (1981). The adiabatic theory developed in the first paper of this series is now applied to the d3 Pi u to X1 Sigma g+ electron impact excitation of the hydrogen molecule. It gives the opportunity to determine semi-empirically all vibro-rotational cross sections for the transitions occurring within the electronic transition studied. The theoretically well founded procedure of extracting information from the intensities of spectral lines excited with the gas-beam technique is proposed and put into practice. In particular, it is established that for the electronic transition in the H2 molecule considered there are substantial deviations from the Franck-Condon approximation. The principal and applied practical significances of this fact are discussed.
