Abstract
The common question motivating my research program continues to be: What dynamical factors influence the outcome of an inelastic or reactive collision? The key word is dynamical because even if all the potential curves of all the relevant states were known accurately, the outcome of a collisional encounter would still be impossible to characterize or predict. Dynamical factors such as collision velocity, reactant state excitation and polarization, spin-orbit coupling, and Coriolis (electronic-rotational) coupling profoundly alter the final probability distribution of inelastic channels.
