| Research/Activities |
- The behavior of highly excited molecules is extremely important
in chemistry because it is the molecules with large amounts of
internal energy that are most capable of undergoing chemical transformations.
However, dynamical studies of molecules with large amounts of internal
energy are generally plagued by low resolution. This is due to
extremely large densities of states and strongly coupled vibrational
modes. The focus of our research program is to explore the ways
in which internal energy influences chemical change using a novel
high resolution experimental techniques to investigate the state-
and time-resolved dynamics of collisional energy flow, chemical
reactions and unimolecular decomposition of highly excited molecules.
