Photodissociation Dynamics in State-Selected Molecules and Radicals

康奈尔大学的保罗·休斯顿得到了实验研究的支持， 物理化学计划，继续他的研究光解 动力学 具体而言，他将集中精力在两个方面： 小自由基的光解动力学，其中与 理论是非常富有成果的，和B）光解离动力学的 状态选择的分子，在那里可以观察到影响 初始激励对乘积分布的影响。 对自由基的研究不仅提供了一个实验基准， 对理论化学家来说，但也将对以下领域产生重大影响： 大气和燃烧化学。 国家选择 前体/状态分辨产品实验将作出巨大贡献 来进一步了解碰撞动力学。

Paul Houston of Cornell University is supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program to continue his studies on photodissociation dynamics. Specifically, he will focus his efforts in two areas: a) photodissociation dynamics of small free radicals, where comparison with theory is very fruitful, and b) photodissociation dynamics of state-selected molecules, where it is possible to observe the influence of the initial excitation on the product distribution. The studies on radicals will not only provide an experimental benchmark for theoretical chemists, but will also have a large impact in the areas of atmospheric and combustion chemistry. The state-selected precursor/state-resolved product experiments will contribute tremendously to further our understanding of collision dynamics.
