Abstract :
We have observed vibrational levels of the 23Pi state and the 33Sigma+ state of 39K85Rb through the a3Sigma+ state formed by photoassociation (PA) spectroscopy. Convenient state-selective detection methods for exploring triplet Rydberg states from the metastable a3Sigma+ state of ultracold KRb molecules by photoionization and time-of-flight mass spectroscopy are proposed.
