Abstract:
We discuss the role of the geometric phase in predissociation dynamics of vibrational states near a conical intersection of two electronic potential surfaces of a D{3h} molecule. We present a method to calculate lifetimes and positions of predissociated vibrational states (Feshbach resonances) for such X3 molecules. The method accounts for the two coupled three-body potential surfaces. As an example, the method is applied to obtain vibrational levels of the 2;{2}A' electronic state of H3. The three-body recombination rate coefficient for the H+H+H-->H{2}+H process is estimated.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
