Radiative Lifetimes for the C1Pi+/-u State of the H2 Molecule.

Employing RKR electronic potentials for the C1Piu and X1Sigma+g states in conjunction with Huffaker's correction and appropriate asymptotic functions, the radiative lifetimes of rovibrational levels of the C1Piu state of H2 for v' = 0-13 and J' = 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 28 are calculated. The perturbation between C1Pi+u and B1Sigma+u has been considered and the perturbed lifetime was calculated using unperturbed lifetimes. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
