title: Photodissociation dynamics of ionic argon pentamer.
abstract: Photodissociation of the ionized argon pentamer, Ar(5)(+), is studied using an extended diatomics-in-molecules interaction model with the inclusion of the spin-orbit coupling and various dynamical approaches. A thorough comparison with the experimental data available in the literature is presented, including photofragment abundances and their kinetic and internal energy distributions. New predictions are reported for ultraviolet photoexcitation energies, a range that has not been studied before either experimentally or theoretically.
