Abstract

One important difference between the results of collinear and of full 3-D dynamical computations arises from the difference in the available volume in phase space (1-D versus 3-D) which can be termed a "dimensionality-bias". Correction for this phase space factor allows for a more realistic estimate of reaction cross sections, branching ratios and 3-D product energy distributions from collinear calculations.
