Determination of the amplitudes and phases of the photofragmentation T matrix elements from experimental measurements
Amplitudes and phases of the photofragmentation T matrix can be determined from experiment by measuring the vector correlation coefficients of the photofragments. Comparison of the experimentally obtained data with the results of quantum mechanical calculation allows the realization of the complete experiment in the field of molecular photodynamics. Selected studies where this analysis has been carried out are discussed.
