This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in experimental physical chemistry involving William Breckenridge and graduate students at the University of Utah and Benoit Soep and Christophe Jouvet at the University of Paris, Orsay. The investigators propose to develop new techniques for probing the reaction dynamics of half collisions of electronically excited metal atoms. Dr. Breckenridge brings to this collaboration his expertise in spectroscopy and chemical dynamics. His laboratory has developed the ability to synthesize complexes involving metal atoms with pure hydrogen. This is complemented by the French investigators' expertise and capabilities for conducting experiments involving a pico-second laser system. These experiments will provide information about physical and chemical processes that occur on the surfaces of metal atoms. By extending their work to the pico- second region, the investigators will be able to characterize some of the slower dynamical processes which occur during atom/atom collisions.

这个为期三年的奖项支持美法在实验物理化学方面的合作研究，涉及犹他大学的 William Breckenridge 和研究生以及巴黎大学奥赛分校的 Benoit Soep 和 Christophe Jouvet。 研究人员建议开发新技术来探测电子激发金属原子半碰撞的反应动力学。 布雷肯里奇博士为此次合作带来了他在光谱学和化学动力学方面的专业知识。 他的实验室已经具备了合成金属原子与纯氢配合物的能力。 法国研究人员进行皮秒激光系统实验的专业知识和能力补充了这一点。 这些实验将提供有关金属原子表面发生的物理和化学过程的信息。 通过将他们的工作扩展到皮秒区域，研究人员将能够表征原子/原子碰撞期间发生的一些较慢的动力学过程。
