2 TIME-INDEPENDENT SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION ELECTRONICALLY ADIABATIC POTENTIAL ENERGY SURFACE µ + V Ψ = EΨ THE CALCULATIONS ARE PERFORMED USING A STANDARD COUPLED-CHANNEL TECHNIQUE AND THE HYPER-QUANTIZATION ALGORITHM DEVELOPED IN OUR LABORATORY For details see: J. Chem. Phys. 109 (1998) 379; J. Chem. Phys. 109 (1998) 3805; Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 1 (1999) 1091; Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 4 (00) 401

3 THE COUPLED CHANNEL EQUATIONS ρ + µ ( E ε ) f ( ρ) W f ( ρ) = 0 n nn' n' nn' nn' ARE THEN PROPAGATED USING A LOG DERIVATIVE METHOD AND SOLVED SUBJECT TO SCATTERING BOUNDARY CONDITIONS f nn' 1 ( ρ) nn' n nn' ρ ik n ( δ exp[ ik ρ] S exp[ ik ρ] ) TO YIELD A SCATTERING MATRIX S AT FIXED VALUES OF TOTAL ENERGY E AND TOTAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM J n

4 Quantum scattering calculations provide the full S-matrix involving all open initial and final channels Coherent partial wave sum σ vjω, v' j' Ω' Incoherent partial wave sum σ vjω, v' j' Ω' ( E, ϑ) = ( E) = π k 1 4k vj vj J J (J + 1) d (J + 1) S J ΩΩ' J vjω, v' j' Ω' ( π ϑ) S J vjω, vjω ( E) The presence of many partial waves in a full collision experiment make reactive resonances elusive to direct observation

6 Q ( E) = i S J J + ds de J From the scattering matrix Smith (1960) defined the collision lifetime matrix The diagonal elements Q nn are the weighted lifetime of the collision originating in the initial state n at the energy E and total angular momentum J The eigenvalues of Q provide the lifetime of the intermediate metastable states, i.e. resonances

7 From the scattering matrix Smith defined the collision time-delay matrix Q ( E) = i S J J + ds de J Q vj,v j is the average delay time of the collision in the initial state vj q ( E) = T Q J T + q α is the average delay time of the collision in the compound state α provides resonance position and lifetime p ( J, v, j ) = t l vjl Eigenvectors provide the probability for the decay into a channel v, j F.T. Smith, Phys. Rev. 118(1960)349

8 At an isolated resonance one eigenvalue is much larger than the others and shows a Lorentian like profile q max Γa = E a is the resonance positionand Γ a Γa ( E Ea ) + is the width 4
