Popis: The photodissociation dynamics of Cl20 at 235nm and 207nm are investigated. The chlorine atoms generated via dissociation into the radical and three- body decay channel are detected state specifically in a (2$-l)-REMPI process. At 235nm the Cl20 molecule was excited to the 12B1 state and the decay is dom- inated by the radical dissociation C120+hv+ClO+Cl. .At 207nm an excitation into the 2lA1 state takes place, which dissociates predominantly into the three-body channel C120+hv+2Cl+O. The three-body decay is characterized based on the fragment kinetic energy dis- tributions at 235nm and 207nm. The shape of the en- ergy distributions points to an asynchronous concerted decay mechanism. 0 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
