And trajectory calculations

Measurements by FIK are highly accurate in two important respects. The reaction time or lifetime can be determined accurately. The measurement of the translational energy upon which the determination rests can be made to accuracies better than 1 in 10s and the accuracy of the time is then governed by the quality of the field and trajectory calculations. The mass-to-charge ratio of the ion can also be measured with great accuracy in FIK, allowing confirmation of elemental compositions.

The energy of the electron beam is also an important factor for the time resolution because of the scattering of the electron beam in irradiated samples (usually condensed media). Eigure 4 shows the electron penetration into liquid water and trajectories calculated by a Monte Carlo calculation code (EGS5 ) for electron penetration into... 

Owing to space restrictions, the present review covers by no means all important theoretical work, and there is almost no reference to experimental work, even that directly connected with theoretical results. However, many different theoretical approaches to the chemical reactivity problem have been reviewed. They encompass qualitative deductions from the symmetry of orbitals, configurations and states empirical and nonempirical calculations of energy and geometry of transition states and of potential energy surfaces at various levels of sophistication, and trajectory calculations. Each method has its own merits and drawbacks... 

Halogens and Hydrogen Halides.— The earliest work with photochemical hot atoms involved halogens and hydrogen halides and interest in these reactions has continued with molecular beam studies and trajectory calculations as well as further photochemical work.

Using annual emission surveys and trajectory calculations, the concentration, deposition, and transboundary flux of sulphur compounds will be continuously estimated in order to evaluate the atmospheric transport and fate of sulphur dioxide. The model estimates will be compared with the dally measurements at the monitoring stations. 

The Na + system has been chosen both for theoretical and experimental reasons. Ab initio potential energy surfaces are available /3/ and trajectory calculations are currently performed. CARS has been used to measure the state distribution of in photolysis /4/ and reaction dynamics /5/. Fig. 1 shows our experimei al setup. In a probe cell we produce a gas mixture of Na (550 K, 10 torr) and (10 to 1000 torr). A flashlamp-pumped dye laser (FLP) with variable pulselength excites sodium to the 3P-state. A CARS laser system detects the rovi-br gic population of hydrogen. Our present sensitivity is approximately 10 particles per cm and quantum state. With an adjustable time control the CARS laser system can monitor the requested population before, during or after the irradiation of the FLP-laser with a time resolution of 10 ns. 

Theoretical analyses of the reaction have been performed by Bettens et al. [39] and by Klippenstein et al. [ 15]. The former used classical trajectories on a calculated potential energy surface. Klippenstein et al. used high level electronic structure methods to calculate the potential energy surface, coupled with the analytical solutions outlined above [36], detailed transition state theory and trajectory calculations. Their paper contains a great deal of insight into the mechanism and the temperarnre dependence of the overall rate coefficient.
