Abstract

The energy distribution of electrons, emitted from collisions between Ne∗(P32,0) and Kr(S10), have been measured under high resolution conditions in a crossed molecular beam apparatus containing a hemispherical electron analyzer as detector. The experimental results provide new insights on the electronic adiabatic and nonadiabatic effects in the stereodynamics of state to state atomic and molecular collisions, controlling relevant properties of the transition state of autoionization processes. In particular, while the adiabatic effects determine sequence, energy, and symmetry of quantum states accessible both to reagents and products, the nonadiabatic effects trigger the passage from entrance to exit channels.
