Direct observation of a breit-wigner phase of a wave function
1Department of Chemistry (m/c 111), University of Illinois at Chicago, 845 West Taylor Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607-7061, USA.
Abstract:
The Breit-Wigner phase of a wave function was obtained by measuring the interference between two independent ionization paths of a molecule. The state of interest was present in only one of the paths, thereby producing a phase shift in the observed signal. An analytical theory was used to determine the phase of the wave function from the observable.
