Threshold ion-pair production spectroscopy of HCl/DCl: Born–Oppenheimer breakdown in HCl and HCl+ and dynamics of photoion-pair formation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Threshold ion-pair production spectroscopy (TIPPS) has been applied to two isotopomers, HCl and DCl. From the high-resolution TIPP spectra the ion-pair thresholds of the two molecules have been precisely measured. Combined with the known ionization energy of H(D) and the electron affinity of Cl, the difference between their bond dissociation energies is calculated, and therefore an experimental determination of the effect of Born–Oppenheimer breakdown on the dissociation limit of the ground state potential curve has been obtained. The difference in De for the two isotopomers was found to be: De(H–Cl)−De(D–Cl)=3.2±1.0 cm−1. The bond energy for HCl was in agreement with our previous determination, D0(H–Cl)=35748.2±0.8 cm−1. These results are compared to a recent study of Born–Oppenheimer breakdown in HCl by Coxon and Hajigeorgiou, where high resolution spectroscopic data was used to fit Born–Oppenheimer breakdown correction terms for the intramolecular potential function. The present study also measured the high resolution spectra for photoion-pair production for HCl and DCl in the threshold region for ion-pair production (∼86 nm). Although there is qualitative agreement between the current results and previous experimental and theoretical work, there are some important differences. The possible mechanism for ion-pair formation in HCl and DCl is discussed in light of these high resolution results.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
