This Presidential Young Investigator Award, part of the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program, supports research in the area of chemical reaction dynamics. The purpose of this research project is to systematically study the reactivity of energetic molecules, using state-specific methods. A tunable excimer laser in conjunction with a dye laser will be used to excite nitric oxide to a higher excited vibronic state. The reaction products will be observed on a single collision basis using pulsed lasers to measure reaction probability as a function of each reactant quantum number. The role of spin-orbit interactions on the reaction probability will be investigated.

这个总统青年研究员奖，实验物理化学计划的一部分，支持在化学反应动力学领域的研究。本研究项目的目的是系统地研究高能分子的反应性，使用特定状态的方法。一个可调谐准分子激光器与染料激光器将被用来激发一氧化氮到一个更高的激发电子振动态。将使用脉冲激光在单次碰撞的基础上观察反应产物，以测量作为每个反应物量子数的函数的反应概率。将研究自旋-轨道相互作用对反应几率的作用。
