State-Resolved Reaction Dynamics.
Abstract
During the past three years major progress has been made in three areas: (1) the study of the simplest of all neutral bimolecular reactions H + D2 yields HD + D using one laser to generate fast H atoms in the photolysis of HI in an HI + D2 mixture and a second laser to detect the HD product in a quantum state specific manner by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization of Hd via the E,F I sigma g + state; (2) The determination of the distribution of impact parameters responsible for the formation of BaI(v=8) product in the beam-gas reaction Ba + HI. This required a full rotational analysis of the BaI sq X sigma + and sq C pi states; (3) The commencement of studies on ion-molecule reactions in which the reagent ion's vibrational and translation energy is controlled and varied in a systematic manner.
