chemical reactions in the gas phase. This theory provides detailed and accurate predictions …

▪ Abstract Recent studies of state-resolved angular distributions show the participation of
reactive scattering resonances in the simplest chemical reaction. This review is intended for …

Quantum interference between reaction pathways around a conical intersection (CI) is an
ultrasensitive probe of detailed chemical reaction dynamics. Yet, for the hydrogen exchange …

A hierarchical family of analytical Born–Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces has been
developed for the H+ H 2 system. Ab initio calculations of near full configuration interaction …

The theoretical methodology for including the effects of the geometric phase in quantum
reactive scattering and bound-state calculations is reviewed. Two approaches are …

The geometric phase is shown to control the outcome of an ultracold chemical reaction. The
control is a direct consequence of the sign change on the interference term between two …

This paper is an overview of the theory of reactive scattering, with emphasis on fully
quantum mechanical theories that have been developed to describe simple chemical …

A new potential energy surface for ozone is developed. It is based on high level ab initio
data and includes an accurate description of the barrier region. Full quantum reactive …

The collision-energy dependence of the state-resolved differential cross section at a specific
backward-scattering angle for the reaction H+ D2→ D+ HD is measured with the D-atom …

Progress in the understanding of the H+ H2 reaction and its isotopic variants is reviewed
with special attention to the achievements of the last decade. The detailed agreement …
