Tables of the mean lifetimes for excited electronic-vibro-rotational states of isotopomers of diatomic hydrogen

Abstract

Current situation in studies of mean lifetimes of excited electronic-vibro-rotational states of hydrogen molecule (including the H2, D2, HD and T2 isotopomers) is reviewed in brief. All measured values of the lifetimes (published before November 2008) are collected and presented in tabular form. Complete bibliography of papers devoted to semi-empirical determination and non-empirical calculation of the lifetimes is presented. The experimental data obtained in various papers are compared with the results of semi-empirical determination and non-empirical calculations.
