β¦ Synopsis
We report on extensive numerical computations of full Lyapunov spectra and related Kaplan-Yorke dimensions for the twoand three-dimensional random Lorentz gases subjected to an external field. This model is one of the simplest nonequilibrium steady-state systems displaying macroscopic irreversibility in spite of its time-reversible microscopic dynamics, in accordance with the Second Law. Nonequilibrium steady states are maintained by Gaussian constraints, keeping the kinetic energy constant. We study the variation of the Lyapunov exponents with the applied field in a wide range of scatterer densities. For dilute systems and small fields our numerical results are in perfect agreement with recent analytical expressions based on Boltzmann equation methods.

A flash photolysis technique has been used to measure the gas phase UV absorption cross-sections for C2H,02\* radicals over the wavelength range 215 -300 nm. Kinetic absorption spectroscopy was then employed to study the self-reaction of these radicals. The measured absorption cross-section at 250 n
