Abstract

Recent independent experimental determinations, by Zare and Valentini and their co-workers, of the HD product state distribution are consistent with a common set of surprisal parameters: λν = 2 and θR in the range 3-5. Analysis of the computational results of Blais and Truhlar suggests that a somewhat larger fraction of the available energy is channeled into rotation and that theorientation of the emergent HD molecules is constrained.
