Abstract

The laser induced fluorescence spectrum of XeKr, prepared in a free-jet expansion, was obtained near the $Xe 6s[3/2]^{\circ} (J=1) <- {^{J}}S_{0}$ transition $(68045.66 cm^{-1})$. Transitions to three electronic states were identified within a $300 cm^{-1}$ range. Complex vibrational structure in the discrete spectra is attributed to an avoided crossing between two $\Omega = 1$ states. Bound-free transitions were also observed when exciting to repulsive states that produce an excited $Xe 6s[3/2]^{\circ} (J=1)$ atom. Spectroscopic constants and approximate potentials will be presented.
