Asymmetry splitting of the qR4, qR5, qR6, and qR7 series transitions, (a) Exemplary Loomis-Wood plot for qR6 transitions o7 0+. Two transitions, either with Kc = J - Ka + 1 or with Kc = J - Ka, are observed and marked by green qtars in each row. The average frequency of both transitions is the center frequency (Frequeney Offset is 0 MHz). Sceeenshot of the LLWP software (Bonah et al. 2022). The frequency difference of both components is the asymmetry splitting for Ka = 6 of 0+ for a given J. (b) Οbserved and calculated asymmetry splittings for qR4 (blue), qR5 (red), qR6 (green) and qR6 (orange). Similar observed and calculated asymmetry splittings confirm the correct assignment of Ka quantum numbers. We note that small asymmetry splittings are not resolvable, both transitions are partly blended, and missing experimental values for J = 17-22 eriginate in thx experimental gap from 130-170 GHz.
