We have simulated the cluster dissociation reaction Arn→Arn−1+Ar (12≤n≤14) using molecular dynamics (MD) with well defined internal energy and total angular momentum. Reaction rates and kinetic energy release distributions are compared to the predictions of several statistical theories: Rice, Ramsperger, and Kassel (RRK), Engelking, and phase space theory (PST). We employ the Nose prescription for constant temperature dynamics coupled with the multiple histogram method of Labastie and Whetten to obtain highly accurate vibrational densities of states for the clusters. The absolute densities are determined by the adiabatic switching method of Reinhardt. Incorporation of these accurate anharmonic vibrational densities of states into classical PST allows us to make a direct comparison with the simulation results and eliminates any parameters from the theory. Then PST predictions for the kinetics of evaporation are given for the low energy (long time scale) regime where MD simulations are prohibitively expensi...
