Abstract
In our laboratory we are studying Rydberg states of the Na₂ molecule by optical-optical double resonance. We have already analysed the rotational interactions by means of the Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory (M.Q.D.T.)[1]. The aim of this paper is to summarize another part of our work concerning the dynamical effects and the autoionization process which governs our experimental method.
