Bound → continuum intensities — A computer program for calculating absorption coefficients, emission intensities or (golden rule) predissociation rates

Abstract
This paper describes a program for calculating the bound → continuum transition intensities associated with photodissociation, spontaneous emission or predissociation, of a diatomic molecule. If desired, it may also perform least-squares fits to experimental data to determine parameters characterizing the transition moment (coupling function) and/or final-state potential energy function(s).

Title of program: BCONT
Catalogue Id: ABHC_v1_0

Nature of problem
This program calculates the bound -> continuum transition intensities associated with photodissociation, spontaneous emission or predissociation from vibration-rotation levels of a single (bound) initial-state potential into continuum levels of one or two distinct final electronic states, and if desired, fits to experimental data to determine parameters characterizing the final-state potential and/or transition coupling functions.
