Spectra of atomic sulfur 1D in transitions to autoionizing Rydberg states in the region of 75,800-89,500 cm(-1).
We recorded photoionization spectra of sulfur atoms in transitions from state (1)D in the range of 75,800-89,500 cm(-1). Dissociation of CS(2) after photolysis at 193 nm produced these sulfur atoms in a singlet excited state; they were then ionized with synchrotron radiation (NSRRC, beamline U9CGM) at resolution of up to 3 cm(-1) and detected with a quadruple mass filter. Rydberg series 3s(2)3p(3)((2)D(3/2)(0))nd[3/2] and 3s(2)3p(3)((2)D(5/2)(0))ns[5/2] with n extending to 16 and 32, respectively, to limit (2)D(0) are assigned. New Rydberg series 3s(2)3p(3)((2)D(3/2)(0))nd[1/2](1), ((2)D(5/2)(0))nd[5/2], and ((2)D(3/2)(0))nd[5/2] with n from 5-9 for the former two series and 7-13 for the latter are assigned. A new Rydberg line at 85 335 cm(-1) is assigned to 3s(2)3p(3)((2)D(3/2)(0))6d (1)P.
