The time evolution of the population in XeF ground-electronic-state vibrational levels is studied using a laser-induced fluorescence technique. The results indicate that a quasiequilibrium distribution is rapidly established within the vibrational manifold and that the dissociation rate of the molecular ground state as a whole is (1.4±0.3) ×104 sec−1 Torr.−1.
