The predissociation of CH(+) has been studied by observation of the appearance of C(+) photofragments as a function of excitation wavelength, near 3500 A. The dissociation energy of the C(+) fragments was also measured. Thirty-seven discrete transitions were observed to lead to dissociation within 350 kaysers of the dissociation limit. The most reasonable attribution of these observations is to the predissociation of the A 1Pi and a 3Pi states. If this is correct, then the number of quasi-bound levels which could contribute to the radiative association C(+)(2P) + H(2S) is much larger than previously expected
