Abstract
The features of the photodissociation spectra of molecular \({\text{Kr}}_{2}^{ + }\) ions are studied in a wide range of gas temperatures. It is found that an increase in the gas temperature leads to a significant change in the frequency dependence of the photodissociation cross sections. A simple physical explanation of the temperature dependence of the cross sections is given.
