Abstract
The fluorescence yields and polarizations of the O2+ A2Πu → X2Πg and the b4Σg− → a4Πu transitions have been measured between their thresholds and 25 eV using synchrotron radiation. The O2+ ions may be formed either through direct photoionization or through excitation into a Rydberg state followed by autoionization. The alignment of the resulting (A2Πu or b4Σg− state) ion has been determined by measuring the degree of linear polarization of the fluorescence emitted in the subsequent decay. The fluorescence yields and polarizations display prominent structure associated with autoionizing Rydberg states belonging to series converging onto the b4Σg−, B2Σg− or the c4Σu− ionization thresholds. The structure in the fluorescence polarization data has enabled the symmetry of the super-excited states to be deduced. Although the interpretation of this symmetry information has been straight-forward in regard to the Rydberg series converging onto the c4Σu− limit, the situation is less clear for the Rydberg series converging onto the b4Σg− or the B2Σg− limits. The measured polarizations have been compared with calculated values and, even for the A2Πu → X2Πg transition where the theoretical model incorporates resonant processes, the agreement is not particularly good.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
