The A-band photodissociation of ammonia is an archetypical and long studied example of non-adiabatic dynamics in a polyatomic system. Due to a well-known conical intersection seam, electronically excited NH3 can produce either the ground ((X) over tilde B-2(1)) state or the excited ((A) over tilde (2)A(1)) state of the NH2 fragment. In this work, the non-adiabatic dynamics is investigated using a six-dimensional wave packet method and an improved version of a newly developed diabatic Hamiltonian based on high quality ab initio data. The (A) over tilde (2)A(1)/(X) over tilde B-2(1) branching ratios are in excellent agreement with experimental estimates, thus validating the non-adiabatically coupled Hamiltonian.
