title: Photoionization dynamics of ammonia (B(1)E''): dependence on ionizing photon energy and initial vibrational level.
abstract: In this article we present photoelectron spectra and angular distributions in which ion rotational states are resolved. This data enables the comparison of direct and threshold photoionization techniques. We also present angle-resolved photoelectron signals at different total energies, providing a method to scan the structure of the continuum in the near-threshold region. Finally, we have studied the influence of vibrational excitation on the photoionization dynamics.
