โฆ Synopsis
In the collision of Br + with Kr there is considerable transfer of translational to electronic energy and vice versa. This energy transfer is modelled as a Landau-Zener process at the points where the potential energy curves of the various electronic states of the halogen positive ion complex (KrBr 3 cross. Experimental transitions among the spin-orbit states of Br+ (viz. 'Dz +"jPo,,) are observed but all attempts to produce 'Dz+ 3Pr have failed. Relativistic CI calculations of lowlying states of KrBr+ have been carried out to explain the above experimental observations.

In a crossed molecular beam experiment differential time-of-flight spectra have been measured for (NH,), + He collisions at E = 108 meV. The energy transfer in the backward direction is large. AE/E = 0.60. Only about half of it can be explained by simple rotational-vibrational excitation of the dim

These values are compared with ca
