Prior distribution vibrational energy disposal

The surprisal plots tend to be linear for all three prior distributions unless dynamical restrictions are present. Then surprisal plots for I and II become nonlinear. Extrapolation of the surprisal plots to = 0 facilitates assignment of the relative v=0 population. The vibrational energy disposal for the CHjX(X = F, Cl, Br, I) series are all characterized by the same X .
