We report the photodissociation of laboratory oriented OCS molecules. A molecular beam of OCS molecules is hexapole state-selected and spatially oriented in the electric field of a velocity map imaging lens. The oriented OCS molecules are dissociated at 230 nm with the linear polarization set at 45 degrees to the orientation direction of the OCS molecules. The CO(nu=0,J) photofragments are quan...

In this note we discuss a technique for definin”g the geometry of ~:$ipole antenna such that low-frequency parameters of the antenna, such as capacitance and mean charge separat~on distance, are readily calculable. This technique involves the assumption of an appropriate static charge distribution which we call an equivalent-charge distribution. Calculating the potential distribution from the e...
