This book illustrates the importance of detailed chemical dynamics and the role it plays in the phenomenology of a number of extreme environments.

Recent measurements of collision-induced dissociation (CID) cross sections for Ar2(+)-Ar collisions for vibrationally cold and hot cases are utilized to test and compare several CID models that have been proposed for the direct simulation ...

OH(A yields X) emission bands have been observed in the molecular beam jets produced by Space Shuttle engine exhaust using the GLO imager spectrograph located in the payload bay.

A fast pulsed beam of neutral metal atoms is produced by laser vaporization of a solid metal compound sample in a modified high-temperature mass spectrometer.
