60. In the meantime we have developed a complex version of our method, which allows us to iteratively determine the real and the imaginary part of the resonance energy (Ref. 56). It is particularly suited for problems with high density of states when the full Hamilton matrix cannot be stored. Currently we are using this method to consider the dissociation of HCO with total angular momentum J ≠ 0.

69. In the case of state (1,3,0) in Fig. 10 we have taken the width of No. 44 in Table 2, which according to the visual inspection of the wave functions is the true (1,3,0) state, at least in our calculations. The experimentalists have assigned No. 45 to (1,3,0), which according to our analysis has the assignment (0,1,6), and therefore we did not include the experimental value in Fig. 10. However, if we ignore the assignment but compare the states with corresponding energies, the experimental and the theoretical widths for state No. 45 agree very well.
