Motivation for Studying H3+ at High
Energies Astronomical importance
The first overtone (22 0) has been observed in emission in Jupiter, as have hot band transitions from the 32 level
6669 cm-1 in overtone bands
7993 cm-1 in hot bands
Theoretical importance
Benchmark for first principle quantum mechanics calculations Comparison between experimental and calculated energy levels important diagnostic tool

Discharge driven at 19 kHz = velocity modulation
Electro-optic modulator (EOM) driven at 500 MHz = frequency modulation
Signal demodulated by double- balance mixer (DBM) and lock-in amplifiers (PSD)
external wavemeter, I2 cell and 2-GHz étalon provide frequency calibration

Comparison to Theory
purely ab initio calculation!empirical correction for nonadiabatic effects
Errors in calculated energy levels significantly larger above the barrier to linearity

First principle ab initio theory on H3+ has
reached spectroscopic accuracy only nonadiabatic and QED corrections missing

Conclusions
Nearly 30 years to progress from a two-particle problem to a three-particle
problem!
