Abstract

We analyse the transition-state spectroscopy of the FH2- photodetachment process using the methods of spectral quantization and spectral control. The transition-state spectrum for the collinear reaction is assigned by extracting time-independent states corresponding to specific spectral peaks. It is shown that peaks with very low intensity in the original photodetachment spectrum can be greatly enhanced by controlling the initial state of the anion. The electric field required to create the non-stationary initial state is designed using a second round of control.
