โฆ Synopsis
In this work we consider two highly exothermic systems, F+Hz( u=O, j)+HF( v', j') +H and Ar+H: (u=O, j) + ArH + ( n', j') + H. Reactive probabilities were calculated for J= 0 only. The main findings are: (a) The F + Hz system is charao terized by forming products with inverted vibrational distribution. In the case of Ar+ Hz the product vibrational distribution is even. (b) The initial rotational quantum number j has a strong effect on the reactivity; in both cases the reaction probabilities drop significantly as j increases.

We discuss a new quantum-mechanical approximation to calculate atom-diatom exchange state-to-state cross sections. The method is based on the coupling of the jz approximation with negative imaginary potentials (NIPS). The NIPS produce absorbing boundary conditions which permit the application of L2
An error was detected in fig. where quantum-mechanical cross sections were compared with quasi-classical trajectory ones. The quasi-classical results were cited from ref. [ 1 ] and not from the one specified in the publication.
