Abstract
By laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), we previously detected 22 UV bands due to transitions from vibrationally excited states of $CCH(\tilde{X}^{2}\Sigma^{+})$ to $\tilde{B}^{2}A.^{1-3}$ Five new bands of parallel-type transitions are rotationally analyzed. The LIF spectrum of the 35929, 36658 and $36821 cm^{-1}$ bands were obtained after photolysis at 193 nm of a supersonic beam of argon seeded with acetylene; two other bands at 38360 and $38452 cm^{-1}$, assigned as $S \leftarrow \tilde{X} (0,2^{0},0)$ and $V \leftarrow \tilde{X} (0,2^{2},0)$, were recorded after photolysis at 193 nm of a mixture of acetylene and $SF_{6}$ at high pressure. States S and V represent K=0 and 2 stacks of a single vibrational level T, located at $39157.4126(51) cm^{-1}$, of $\tilde{B}^{2} A$. Gating at the fluorescence lifetime enables us to separate weak bands of CCH from $C_{2}$. Methods of obtaining vibrationally cooled CCH will be discussed.
