This research, part of the Experimental Physical Chemistry                 Program, seeks to understand the basic dynamics of simple gas                   phase chemical reactions.  It uses techniques of laser                          spectroscopy to probe the energetics of product and transient                   species.                                                                             The reaction chosen for study is K + NaCl ---- Na* + KCl.                  Techniques of laser induced fluorescence fluorescence will be                   used to probe the energetics of the Na* at different energies                   using cooled beams.                                                                  For the K + NaCl system (and similar systems) attempts                     will be made to observe the transition species, KNaCl, formed                   in the supersonic beam using the methods of laser induced                       fluorescence.  In particular the vibrational and energy levels                  of these complexes will be observed and mapped in order to                      provide a generic understanding of the energetics and dynamics                  of these Transition Region Species (TRS).
