	abstract = {The rotational spectra of the fluorosulfate (FSO3 center dot) molecular radical in its vibronic ground state were measured in the millimeter-wave region and analyzed in detail using the matrix elements of the rotational, fine, and hyperfine Hamiltonian terms. The analysis of the assigned transition frequencies made it possible to derive very precise values of the rotational, centrifugal distortion and fine structure constants and to confirm the C-3v molecular symmetry of the vibronic ground state unambiguously. In addition, an effective parameter of the "A(1)-A(2) splitting" was determined. The rotational transitions of the FSO3 center dot free radical were observed, identified, and analyzed for the first time.},

	abstract = {Evidence for the formation of NeMu*, an isotopic analog of the Rydberg molecule NeH*, has been obtained from the observation of chemiluminescent emission in the near-infrared region. This is the first spectroscopic detection of a muonium-containing molecule. NeMu* was formed by stopping a 4 MeV muon (mu(+)) beam in a target vessel containing 1-6 atm of Ne and. similar to 1 Torr Ar. The wavelength spectrum of the emission, from similar to 680-1000 nm, was measured, using a variable-wavelength filter, with a resolution of +/-12.5 nm. Lower resolution spectra were also taken with a series of long pass filters. A complete histogram of photon events vs time was collected for each wavelength. Two strong transitions are observed, centered at 818 and 943 nm. Identification of NeMu* was made by a comparison of the experimental spectrum with a simulated spectrum based on detailed ad initio calculations, extended to higher excitation levels than had heretofore been reported. Both experimental and theoretical results are reported here. Although the mechanism by which the emitting states in NeMu* are formed remains unclear, radiolysis effects appear to play a dominant role, indicating that NeMu(+) (the product of muon thermalization in Ne) undergoes charge exchange with metastable Ar* and/or is neutralized by a spur electron, both species produced during the slowing down of the high energy muon.},
