Theoretical Investigation of Reactive Collisions in Molecular Beams: K+Br2

Abstract

A quasiclassical trajectory calculation is performed on a simplified interaction potential approximating that for the K+Br₂→KBr+Br reaction. Various scattering attributes are computed; they include differential and total cross sections, energy, and angular‐momentum partitioning. A qualitative attempt is made to relate some of these to the interactions along the reactant and product portions of the collision trajectory.
