 Title: A STUDY OF THE $A^{2}\Pi/B^{2}\Sigma^{+} - X^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ BAND SYSTEMS OF CALCIUM MONOHYDRIDE, CaH, USING A SUPERSONIC MOLECULAR BEAM SOURCE AND LASER INDUCED FLUORESCENCE DETECTION Creators: Gengler, Jamie; Steimle, T. C.; Chen, Jinhai Issue Date: 2004 Abstract: The high-resolution laser induced fluorescence spectrum of a molecular beam sample of calcium monohydride, CaH, in the region of the strongly overlapped (1,0) $A^{2}\Pi-X^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ and $(0,0) B^{2}\Sigma^{+}{_{-}}X^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ band systems near 630 nm and the $(0,0) A^{2}\Pi-X^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ band system near 690 nm have been recorded and analyzed. The spectral features exhibit a small splitting which is attributed to proton magnetic hyperfine interactions in the $X^{2}\Sigma^{+} (v=0)$ $state^{a,b}$. The energy levels of the $A^{2}\Pi (v=0)$ and $X^{2}\Sigma^{+} (v=0)$ vibronic states were modeled using a traditional effective Hamiltonian approach, where as those for the interacting $A^{2}\Pi (v=1)/B^{2}\Sigma^{+} (v=0)$ vibronic levels were modeled by augmenting the traditional effective Hamiltonian with terms to account for local perturbations. A comparison to the analysis of the high temperature spectra performed by $Martin^{c}$, which did not include many of the spectral features of the present work, will be given.
