▪ Abstract To predict the branching between energetically allowed product channels,
chemists often rely on statistical transition state theories or exact quantum scattering …

This book is written for graduate students just beginning research, for theorists curious about
what experimentalists actually can and do measure, and for experimentalists bewildered by …

Molecular collisions are of fundamental importance in understanding intermolecular
interaction and dynamics. Its importance is accentuated in cold and ultra-cold collisions …

Molecular design principles provide guidelines for augmenting a molecule with a smaller
group of atoms to realize a desired property or function. We demonstrate that these concepts …

A pulsed beam of ground state OH radicals is slowed down using a Stark decelerator and is
subsequently loaded into an electrostatic trap. Characterization of the molecular beam …

Rapid and repeated photon cycling has enabled precision metrology and the development
of quantum information systems using atoms and simple molecules. Extending optical …

Vibrational energy transfer in collisions between ions and neutrals is a fundamental process
in interstellar media, planetary atmospheres, and plasmas. The conventional wisdom is that …

We report on the production of a pulsed molecular beam of metastable NH (a 1 Δ) radicals
and present first results on the Stark deceleration of the NH (a 1 Δ, J= 2, MΩ=− 4) radicals …

This tutorial review examines the proposition that vector properties reveal more about the
underlying potential energy surfaces controlling the inelastic exchange of energy in …

The ion-pair states of molecular iodine provide a unique system for studying the efficiency,
selectivity, and mechanisms of collision-induced non-adiabatic transitions. Non-adiabatic …
