Phys. Rev. A 78, 052503 (2008) [7 pages]Electric dipole rovibrational transitions in the HD moleculeReceived 20 August 2008; revised 22 September 2008; published 7 November 2008 The rovibrational electric dipole transitions in the ground electronic state of the HD molecule are studied. A simple, yet rigorous formula is derived for the transition rates in terms of the electric dipole moment function D(R), which is calculated in a wide range of R. Our numerical results for transition rates are in moderate agreement with experiments and previous calculations, but are at least an order of magnitude more accurate. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
