To elucidate the ionization dynamics, in particular the vibrational distribution, of H₂O⁺(Ã) produced by photoionization and the Penning ionization of H₂O and D₂O with He*(2 ³S) atoms, Franck–Condon factors (FCFs) were given for the ionization, and the transition probabilities were presented for the emission. The FCFs were obtained by quantum vibrational calculations using the three-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) of and electronic states. The global PESs were determined by the multi-reference configuration interaction calculations with the Davidson correction and the interpolant moving least squares method combined with the Shepard interpolation. The obtained FCFs exhibit that the state primarily populates the vibrational ground state, as its equilibrium geometry is almost equal to that of , while the bending mode (ν₂) is strongly enhanced for the H₂O⁺(Ã) state; the maximums in the population of H₂O⁺ and D₂O⁺ are approximately v₂ = 11–12 and 15–17, respectively. These results are consistent with the distributions observed by photoelectron spectroscopy. Transition probabilities for the system of H₂O⁺ and D₂O⁺ show that the bending progressions consist primarily of the emission, with combination bands from the (1, v′₂ = 4–8, 0) level being next most important.
