Intestinal colonization by bacteria of oral origin has been correlated with several negative
health outcomes, including inflammatory bowel disease. However, a causal role of oral …

Measurement of vector correlations in molecular scattering is an indispensable tool for
mapping out interaction potentials. In a coexpanded supersonic beam, we have studied the …

The amount of information that can be obtained from a scattering experiment depends upon
the precision with which the quantum states are defined in the incoming channel. By …

Molecular interactions are best probed by scattering experiments. Interpretation of these
studies has been limited by lack of control over the quantum states of the incoming collision …

A crossed molecular beam, velocity-map ion-imaging apparatus has been used to
determine differential cross sections (DCSs), as a function of collider final internal energy, for …

To investigate how molecular orientations affect low energy scattering, we have studied the
rotational relaxation of HD (v= 1, j= 2, m)→(v′= 1, j′= 0) by collision with ground-state He …

The concept of the steric effect in molecular collisions is central to chemistry. In this
Perspective article we review some of the progress made in studying the steric effect in …

The structure and quantum state of the reactants have a profound impact on the kinetics and
dynamics of chemical reactions. Over the past years, significant advances have been …

To accurately map weak D 2–Ne long-range interactions, we have studied rotationally
inelastic cold scattering of D 2 prepared in the vibrationally excited (v= 4) and rotationally …

A Stark decelerator is used in combination with velocity map imaging to study collisions of
NO radicals with rare gas atoms in a counterpropagating crossed beam geometry. This …
