The Conference on the Dynamics of Molecular Collisions Held at Snowbird, Utah on 14-19 July 1985.

Abstract

The research discussed at the conference included reactive scattering studies with state selection and aligned reactants; reactive and nonreactive resonances; reactions of transition metal ions; reactive close coupling calculations and the distorted wave and quantal transition state theories of reactive scattering; potential energy surfaces; experimental studies of vibrational and rotational energy transfer collisions in the vapor and condensed phases, in ions in flow tubes, and at surfaces; collision-free energy transfer; infrared and visible fluorescence, theory and experiment for collisions of open-shell and electronically excited molecules; collisional interactions of molecules with surfaces; desorption; helium beam diffraction; and photodissociation. The plenary discussions following the lectures were exceptionally vital and provided a strong indication of the current excitement in this field. The posters covered an even broader spectrum of work on the dynamics of molecular collisions.
