Abstract
The kinetics of CsH formation in the reaction of Cs(7P) and H2 is studied in the gas phase. We find that two processes coexist: a fast direct mechanism leading to a rotational distribution having the same temperature as the gas mixture and a slower process which most probably involves two collisions.Keywords
