The H atom production channels in the ultraviolet （UV） photochemistry of m-pyridyl radical （m-C5H4N） were investigated at excitation wavelengths from 224 nm to 248 nm by high-n Rydberg atom time-of-flight （HRTOF） technique. The photofragment yield （PFY） spectrum of the H atoms indicates a broad UV absorption feature near 234 nm. The product kinetic energy release is small; the average product kinetic energy at the wavelengths from 224 nm to 248 nm is 0.12 to 0.19 of the maximum excess energy （assuming the lowest energy product channel, H＋cyanovinylacetylene）. The product kinetic energy distributions are consistent with the H cyanovinylacetylene, H 3,4-pyridyne, and H 2,3-pyridyne product channels, with H cyanovinylacetylene as the main H-loss channel. The angular distributions of the H-atom products are isotropic. After the UV electronic excitation, the m-pyridyl radical undergoes internal conversion to the ground electronic state and then unimolecular dissoci-ation to the H cyanovinylacetylene, H 3,4-pyridyne, and H 2,3-pyridyne products. The dissociation mechanism of the m-pyridyl radical is similar to that of the o-pyridyl radical reported in the early study.

Metastable 40Ar＊ atoms are produced in the two metastable states 3p54s [3/2]2 and 3p5 4s′ [1/2]0 in a pulsed DC discharge in a beam, and are subsequently excited to the even-parity autoionizing resonance series 3pSnp′[3/2]1,2, 3p5 np′ [1/2]1, and 3p5nf′[5/2]3 using single photon excitation with a pulsed dye laser. The excitation spectra of the even-parity autoion- izing resonance series from the metastable 40Ar＊ are obtained by recording the autoionized Ar＋ ions with time-of-flight ion detection in the photon energy range of 32500-35600 cm-1 with an experimental bandwidth of 〈0.1 cm-1. A wealth of autoionizing resonances are newly observed, from which more precise and systematic spectroscopic data of the level energies and quantum defects are derived.
