In this project in the Theoretical and Computational Physical                   Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Professor Taylor                   will apply nonlinear dynamics to chaotic unassignable atomic                    and molecular spectra to extract detailed information about                     regular dynamic motions over short time intervals.                                                                                                              By Fourier transforming limited regions of high resolution                      spectra it will be shown that periodic orbits mimic the                         dominant chaotic motion.  Resonant scattering theory and                        stabilization methods will be used to compute ladders of                        resonant states which interact with the chaotic                                 quasi-continuum.  The motion on the periodic orbits supplies                    molecular motion whose quantization causes the low resolution                   spectra.  Applications will be considered for the chaotic                       spectra of acetylene and the sodium trimer.
