Abstract
The fundamental vibrational bands of methyl silane ($CH_{3}SiH_{3}$) $\nu_{1}$, $\nu_{2}$, $\nu_{7}$, and $\nu_{8}$ have been recorded at 203K and 77K using both conventional absorption cells and also the RAL collisional cooling cell, at resolutions of up to 0.0017$cm^{-1}$. In the low temperature spectra, torsional splitting of the rotational transitions, which is obscured in the room temperature spectra, has been resolved and assigned in the majority of cases. Previously missasignment of the $\nu_{1}$ Q branch splitting has corrected. Rotation constants of methyl silane and the torsional barrier for the different excited states have been determined
