How to get access to long range states of highly excited molecules

Abstract:

Due to competition between ionic and covalent dissociation, the excited potential curves of the alkali dimers display long range structures, leading in some cases to secondary wells. We discuss the possibility of populating the well (with a depth of 1614.8 cm-1, located at R e = 30.5a 0 ) that is present in the Na2 potential curve and propose detection schemes.
