Accurate Determination of Predissociation Rates and Transition Frequencies for Carbon-Monoxide

By making use of two different laser spectroscopic techniques involving narrowband pulsed lasers in the visible, ultraviolet, and extreme-ultraviolet wavelength ranges, highly accurate data on absolute transition frequencies and predissociation rates were obtained for a number of excited states of CO and its isotopes. These data are combined, reanalyzed, and presented here in concise form.
