20. Why we prefer this model over Dolye’s 1.Realistic value for 2. Works for all transitions (not just R 1 (0.5)) 3. Many internal consistencies are met: i) g l (B 2  + ) ~ -g l ’(A 2  ) ii) ~ /A etc. iii) Curl relationships give approx. correct results

21. Conclusions drawn from the CaH Zeeman studies 1)The Zeeman effect in the A 2  (v=1)/B 2  (v=0)- X 2  (v=0) band system can be modeled with two (one?) adjustable parameters for fields as high as those in the magnetic confinement experiments (approx. 25,000 G!) 2)Sorting out the field-free A 2  (v=1)/B 2  (v=0) interaction was crucial to the anlaysis of even the low-field Zeeman spectra.
