Summary: We have theoretically studied the effect of autoionization through
the doubly excited autoionizing states of u-symmetry, on the photoelctron
energy spectrum (PES) in (1+2)-photon above threshold ionization of H2
molecules. Both dissociative autoionization and autoionization to the bound
vibrational levels of H2+ ion have been considered. We have shown that the PES
is oscillatory in nature and shows structure similar to that observed in a
recent experiment by Rottke et. al., J. Phys. B, Vol. 30, 4049 (1997).
