Statistics of photodissociation spectra: nonuniversal properties

Abstract

We consider the two-point correlation function of the photodissociation cross section in molecules where the fragmentation process is indirect, passing through resonances above the dissociation threshold. In the limit of overlapping resonances, a formula is derived, relating this correlation function to the behavior of the corresponding classical system. It is shown that nonuniversal features of the two-point correlation function may have significant experimental manifestations.
