If these coefficients can be expressed in context of molecular-structure parameters then direct contact between experiment and molecular properties may be made. We shall discuss a van der Waals interaction model we are developing to account for the effect a high-pressure non-absorbing gas has on the absorption bands associated with Rydberg transitions of various molecular species. The specific system we use as an example is the first s-Rydberg transitions of methyliodide $(CH_{3}I)$ in the presence of $SF_{6}$. en_US dc.format.extent 78707 bytes dc.format.mimetype image/jpeg dc.language.iso English en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title THE EFFECT OF PRESSURE ON MOLECULAR RYDBERG TRANSITIONS en_US dc.type article en_US
