Abstract

Rotational spectra of $A r H +$ and $A r D +$ were measured in a magnetically confined plasma with a tunable far-infrared laser. By separating the $Δ M J =±1$ components with a quarter wave plate, the rotational g-factors were determined. Combining this data with that available from $m i c r o w a v e 1$ and infrared $s p e c t r o s c o p y 2,3$ we can evaluate the Born-Oppenheimer equilibrium internuclear separation.
