These results show unambiguously that the Br and Br* forming channels result in different vibrational excitation of the umbrella mode of the methyl fragment. Low energy structured features appear on the images which arise from CH3Br+ photodissociation near 330 nm. The excess energy of the probe laser photon is channeled into CH3+ vibrational excitation, most probably in the nu_4 degenerate bend11 pagesChemical Physicstext
