Abstract
Over the past few years, a strong interest has developed for the study of elementary photochemistry of small molecules embedded in rare gas crystals. This stems from the fact that such systems are considered as models for condensed phase photochemistry and are more easily amenable to computer simulations. In addition, laser applications are foreseen.
