Abstract
The field of molecular scattering is reviewed as it pertains to gas-gas as well as gas-surface chemical reaction dynamics. We emphasize the importance of collaboration of experiment and theory, from which new directions of research are being pursued on increasingly complex problems. We review both experimental and theoretical advances that provide the modern toolbox available to molecular-scattering studies. We distinguish between two classes of work. The first involves simple systems and uses experiment to validate theory so that from the validated theory, one may learn far more than could ever be measured in the laboratory. The second class involves problems of great complexity that would be difficult or impossible to understand without a partnership of experiment and theory. Key topics covered in this review include crossed-beams reactive scattering and scattering at extremely low energies, where quantum effects dominate. They also include scattering from surfaces, reactive scattering and kinetics at surfaces, and scattering work done at liquid surfaces. The review closes with thoughts on future promising directions of research.

Abstract
Although the reactant-product decoupling (RPD) technique was proposed over two decades ago, it remains an efficient approach for calculating product state-resolved information on some simple direct reactions using the quantum wave packet method. In the past, usually the RPD technique employed the collocation method to transform the wave function between reactant and product arrangements, which requires quite large computational efforts. In this work, the intermediate coordinate (IC) method is employed to realize the RPD technique. Numerical examples demonstrate that this new IC RPD (IRPD) technique has superior computational efficiency compared with the original method employing the collocation method. Especially, the new IRPD technique significantly saves disk space and computer memory. To illustrate the features of our new method, the total reaction probabilities of the H + H2, H + Br2, and F + H2 reactions with J = 0 and the differential cross sections of the H + H2 and F + H2 reactions at a series of collision energy are calculated and presented. With this efficient and effective new RPD technique, the Li + HF reaction, which involves sharp resonances with long-range wave functions in the van der Waals wells in both the reactant and product arrangements, is also calculated with several J at the product state-resolved level to reveal the ability of the RPD technique for describing resonance wave functions. With these numerical examples, it is found that, for the reaction with resonances, the RPD approach should be applied carefully. Otherwise, it is very possible that the resonances could disappear with the application of the RPD technique.

Abstract
We investigated the F + HD(v = 1, j = 0) → HF + D reaction using the crossed molecular beam technique combined with the D atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight spectroscopy. By detecting the products at various scattering angles for different collision energies in the range of 0.8-1.2 kcal/mol, we observed the forward-scattering products of HF(v' = 4) and determined the threshold energy for the opening of this reaction channel. Similar experiments were conducted for the F + HD(v = 0, j = 0) → HF + D reaction within the range of 1.1-1.6 kcal/mol, where forward-scattering products of HF(v' = 3) were observed, and the threshold energy for this reaction channel was determined as well. Furthermore, we measured the differential cross-sections for the F + HD → HF + D reaction in both the vibrational ground state and the excited state of HD and analyzed the vibrational quantum-state distribution of the HF products. It was found that the population of vibrational quantum states of the HF products increases synchronously with the excitation of the reactant HD vibrationally.

Abstract
Feshbach resonances are fundamental to interparticle interactions and become particularly important in cold collisions with atoms, ions, and molecules. In this work, we present the detection of Feshbach resonances in a benchmark system for strongly interacting and highly anisotropic collisions: molecular hydrogen ions colliding with noble gas atoms. The collisions are launched by cold Penning ionization, which exclusively populates Feshbach resonances that span both short- and long-range parts of the interaction potential. We resolved all final molecular channels in a tomographic manner using ion-electron coincidence detection. We demonstrate the nonstatistical nature of the final-state distribution. By performing quantum scattering calculations on ab initio potential energy surfaces, we show that the isolation of the Feshbach resonance pathways reveals their distinctive fingerprints in the collision outcome.

Abstract
Scattering resonances are an essential tool for controlling the interactions of ultracold atoms and molecules. However, conventional Feshbach scattering resonances1, which have been extensively studied in various platforms1-7, are not expected to exist in most ultracold polar molecules because of the fast loss that occurs when two molecules approach at a close distance8-10. Here we demonstrate a new type of scattering resonance that is universal for a wide range of polar molecules. The so-called field-linked resonances11-14 occur in the scattering of microwave-dressed molecules because of stable macroscopic tetramer states in the intermolecular potential. We identify two resonances between ultracold ground-state sodium-potassium molecules and use the microwave frequencies and polarizations to tune the inelastic collision rate by three orders of magnitude, from the unitary limit to well below the universal regime. The field-linked resonance provides a tuning knob to independently control the elastic contact interaction and the dipole-dipole interaction, which we observe as a modification in the thermalization rate. Our result provides a general strategy for resonant scattering between ultracold polar molecules, which paves the way for realizing dipolar superfluids15 and molecular supersolids16, as well as assembling ultracold polyatomic molecules.

Abstract
We report on reactive scattering studies of the proton transfer and combined hydrogen/proton transfer in the O- + CH3I reaction. We combine state-of-the-art crossed-beam velocity map imaging and quantum chemistry calculations to understand the dynamics for the formations of the CH2I- + OH and CHI- + H2O products. The experimental velocity- and angle-differential cross section show for both products and at all collision energies (between 0.3 and 2.0 eV) that the product ions are predominantly forward scattered. For the CHI- + H2O channel, the data show lower product velocities, indicative of higher internal excitation, than in the case of single proton transfer. Furthermore, our results suggest that the combined hydrogen/proton transfer proceeds via a two-step process: In the first step, O- abstracts one H atom to form OH-, and then the transient OH- removes an additional proton from CH2I to form the energetically stable H2O coproduct.

Abstract
We employ coupled three-dimensional (3D) time dependent wave packet formalism in hyperspherical coordinates for reactive scattering problem on the newly constructed ab initio calculated ground adiabatic potential energy surface for the F + H2/D2 reaction. The convergence profiles for various reactive channels are depicted at low collision energy regimes with respect to the total angular momentum (J) quantum numbers. For two different reactant diatomic molecules (H2 and D2) initially at their respective ground roto-vibrational state (v = 0, j = 0), calculated state-to-state as well as total integral cross sections as a function of collision energy, temperature dependent rate constants, and the kinetic isotope effect for various reactivity profiles of F + H2 and F + D2 reactions are presented along with previous theoretical and experimental results.

Abstract
At temperatures close to absolute zero, the molecular reactions and collisions are dominantly governed by quantum mechanics. Remarkable quantum phenomena such as quantum tunneling, quantum threshold behavior, quantum resonances, quantum interference, and quantum statistics are expected to be the main features in ultracold reactions and collisions. Ultracold molecules offer great opportunities and challenges in the study of these intriguing quantum phenomena in molecular processes. In this article, we review the recent progress in the preparation of ultracold molecules and the study of ultracold reactions and collisions using ultracold molecules. We focus on the controlled ultracold chemistry and the scattering resonances at ultralow temperatures. The challenges in understanding the complex ultracold reactions and collisions are also discussed.

Abstract
Producing high densities of molecules is a fundamental challenge for low-temperature, ion-molecule reaction studies. Traveling-wave Stark decelerators promise to deliver high density beams of cold, polar molecules but require non-trivial control of high-voltage potentials. We have overcome this experimental challenge and demonstrate continuous deceleration of ND3 from 385 to 10 m/s, while driving the decelerator electrodes with a 10 kV amplitude sinewave. In addition, we test an alternative slowing scheme, which increases the time delay between decelerated packets of ND3 and non-decelerated molecules, allowing for better energy resolution of subsequent reaction studies. We characterize this source of neutral, polar molecules suitable for energy-resolved reaction studies with trapped ions at cold translational temperatures. We also propose a combined apparatus consisting of the traveling-wave decelerator and a linear ion trap with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and discuss to what extent it may achieve cold, energy-resolved, ion-neutral reactions.

Abstract
The excitation functions (reaction cross-section as a function of collision energy) of the F + HD(v = 0, 1; j = 0, 1) benchmark system have been calculated in the 0.01-6 meV collision energy interval using a time-independent hyperspherical quantum dynamics methodology. Special attention has been paid to orbiting resonances, which bring about detailed information on the three-atom interaction during the reactive encounter. The location of the resonances depends on the rovibrational state of the reactants HD(v,j), but is the same for the two product channels HF + D and DF + H, as expected for these resonances that are linked to the van der Waals well at the entrance. The resonance intensities depend both on the entrance and on the exit channels. The peak intensities for the HF + D channel are systematically larger than those for DF + H. Vibrational excitation leads to an increase of the peak intensity by more than an order of magnitude, but rotational excitation has a less drastic effect. It deceases the resonance intensity of the F + HD(v = 1) reaction, but increases somewhat that of F + HD(v = 0). Polarization of the rotational angular momentum with respect to the initial velocity reveals intrinsic directional preferences in the F + HD(v = 0, 1; j = 1) reactions that are manifested in the resonance patterns. The helicities (Ω = 0, Ω = ±1) possible for j = 1 contribute to the resonances, but that from Ω± 1 is, in general, dominant and in some cases exclusive. It corresponds to a preferential alignment of the HD internuclear axis perpendicular to the initial direction of approach and, thus, to side-on collisions. This work also shows that external preparation of the reactants, following the intrinsic preferences, would allow the enhancement or reduction of specific resonance features, and would be of great help for their eventual experimental detection.

Abstract
The effect of electron spin-orbit interactions on chemical reaction dynamics has been a topic of much research interest. Here we report a combined experimental and theoretical study on the effect of electron spin and orbital angular momentum in the F + HD → HF + D reaction. Using a high-resolution imaging technique, we observed a peculiar horseshoe-shaped pattern in the product rotational-state-resolved differential cross sections around the forward-scattering direction. The unusual dynamics pattern could only be explained properly by highly accurate quantum dynamics theory when full spin-orbit characteristics were considered. Theoretical analysis revealed that the horseshoe pattern was largely the result of quantum interference between spin-orbit split-partial-wave resonances with positive and negative parities, providing a distinctive example of how spin-orbit interaction can effectively influence reaction dynamics.

Abstract
The experimental characterization of scattering resonances in low energy collisions has proven to be a stringent test for quantum chemistry calculations. Previous measurements on the NO-H2 system at energies down to 10 cm-1 challenged the most sophisticated calculations of potential energy surfaces available. In this report, we continue these investigations by measuring the scattering behavior of the NO-H2 system in the previously unexplored 0.4 cm-1-10 cm-1 region for the parity changing de-excitation channel of NO. We study state-specific inelastic collisions with both para- and ortho-H2 in a crossed molecular beam experiment involving Stark deceleration and velocity map imaging. We are able to resolve resonance features in the measured integral and differential cross sections. Results are compared to predictions from two previously available potential energy surfaces, and we are able to clearly discriminate between the two potentials. We furthermore identify the partial wave contributions to these resonances and investigate the nature of the differences between collisions with para- and ortho-H2. Additionally, we tune the energy spreads in the experiment to our advantage to probe scattering behavior at energies beyond our mean experimental limit.

Abstract
Scattering resonances play a central role in collision processes in physics and chemistry. They help build an intuitive understanding of the collision dynamics due to the spatial localization of the scattering wavefunctions. For resonances that are localized in the reaction region, located at short separation behind the centrifugal barrier, sharp peaks in the reaction rates are the characteristic signature, observed recently with state-of-the-art experiments in low-energy collisions. If, however, the localization occurs outside of the reaction region, mostly the elastic scattering is modified. This may occur due to above-barrier resonances, the quantum analogue of classical orbiting. By probing both elastic and inelastic scattering of metastable helium with deuterium molecules in merged-beam experiments, we differentiate between the nature of quantum resonances-tunnelling resonances versus above-barrier resonances-and corroborate our findings by calculating the corresponding scattering wavefunctions.

Abstract
Scattering resonances are pure quantum effects that appear whenever the collision energy matches the energy of a quasi-bound state of the intermolecular complex. Here we show that rotational quenching of HF(j = 1, 2) with H is strongly influenced by the presence of two resonance peaks, leading to up to a two-fold increase in the thermal rate coefficients at the low temperatures characteristic of the interstellar medium. Our results show that each resonance peak is formed by a cluster of shape resonances, each of them characterized by the same value of the orbital angular momentum but different values of the total angular momentum. The relative intensity of these resonances depends on the relative geometry of the incoming reactants, and our results predict that by changing the alignment of the HF rotational angular momentum it is possible to decompose the resonance peaks, disentangling the underlying resonance pattern and the contribution of different total angular momenta to the resonance.

Abstract
First principles based beyond Born-Oppenheimer theory has been implemented on the F + H2 system for constructing multistate global diabatic Potential Energy Surfaces (PESs) through the incorporation of Nonadiabatic Coupling Terms (NACTs) explicitly. The spin-orbit (SO) coupling effect on the collision process of the F + H2 reaction has been included as a perturbation to the non-relativistic electronic Hamiltonian. Adiabatic PESs and NACTs for the lowest three electronic states (12A', 22A', and 12A″) are determined in hyperspherical coordinates as functions of hyperangles for a grid of fixed values of the hyperradius. Jahn-Teller (JT) type conical intersections between the two A' states translate along C2v and linear geometries in F + H2. In addition, A' and A″ states undergo Renner-Teller (RT) interaction at collinear configurations of this system. Both JT and RT couplings are validated by integrating NACTs along properly chosen contours. Subsequently, we have solved adiabatic-to-diabatic transformation (ADT) equations to evaluate the ADT angles for constructing the diabatic potential matrix of F + H2, including the SO coupling terms. The newly calculated diabatic PESs are found to be smooth, single-valued, continuous, and symmetric and can be invoked for performing accurate scattering calculations on the F + H2 system.

Abstract
It is demonstrated both numerically and mathematically that the dynamical behavior of an isolated resonance state, which comprises the resonance decay lifetime and the asymptotic fragment state distribution produced upon resonance decay, can be extensively controlled by means of quantum interference induced by a laser field in the weak-field regime. The control scheme applied is designed to induce interference between amplitudes excited at two different energies of the resonance line shape, namely the resonance energy and an additional energy. This scheme exploits the resonance property of possessing a nonzero energy width, which makes it possible that a resonance state may interfere with itself, and thus allows interference between the amplitudes excited at the two energies of the resonance width. The application of this scheme opens the possibility of a universal control of both the duration and the fragment product distribution outcome of any resonance-mediated molecular process.

Abstract
Understanding quantum interferences is essential to the study of chemical reaction dynamics. Here, we provide an interesting case of quantum interference between two topologically distinct pathways in the H + HD → H2 + D reaction in the collision energy range between 1.94 and 2.21 eV, manifested as oscillations in the energy dependence of the differential cross section for the H2 (v′ = 2, j′ = 3) product (where v′ is the vibrational quantum number and j′ is the rotational quantum number) in the backward scattering direction. The notable oscillation patterns observed are attributed to the strong quantum interference between the direct abstraction pathway and an unusual roaming insertion pathway. More interestingly, the observed interference pattern also provides a sensitive probe of the geometric phase effect at an energy far below the conical intersection in this reaction, which resembles the Aharonov–Bohm effect in physics, clearly demonstrating the quantum nature of chemical reactivity.

Abstract
Transiently trapped quantum states along the reaction coordinate in the transition-state region of a chemical reaction are normally called Feshbach resonances or dynamical resonances. Feshbach resonances trapped in the HF-OH interaction well have been discovered in an earlier photodetchment study of FH2O-; however, it is not clear whether these resonances are accessible by the F + H2O reaction. Here we report an accurate state-to-state quantum dynamics study of the F + H2O → HF + OH reaction on an accurate newly constructed potential energy surface. Pronounced oscillatory structures are observed in the total reaction probabilities, in particular at collision energies below 0.2 eV. Detailed analysis reveals that these oscillating structures originate from the Feshbach resonance states trapped in the hydrogen bond well on the HF(v' = 2)-OH vibrationally adiabatic potentials, producing mainly HF(v' = 1) product. Therefore, the resonances observed in the photodetchment study of FH2O- are accessible to the reaction.

Abstract
The dynamics of inelastic collisions between HF and H has been investigated in detail by means of time-independent quantum mechanical calculations on the LWA-78 potential energy surface ( Li , G. ; et al. J. Chem. Phys. 2007 , 127 , 174302 ). Reaction probabilities, differential cross sections, and three-vector correlations have been calculated and analyzed. Our results show that there are two competing collision mechanisms that correlate with low and high impact parameters and show very different stereodynamical preferences. The mechanism promoted by high impact parameters is the only one present at low collision energies. We also observe the presence of an apparent threshold in the inelastic cross section for relatively high initial HF rotational quantum numbers, which is associated with the larger energy difference between adjacent rotational quantum states with increasing rotation.

Abstract
Time-independent, fully converged, quantum dynamical calculations have been performed for the F + HD (v = 0, j = 0) and F + HD (v = 1, j = 0) reactions on an accurate potential energy surface down to collision energies of 0.01 meV. The two isotopic exit channels, HF + D and DF + H, have been investigated. The calculations reproduce satisfactorily the Feshbach resonance structures for collision energies between 10 and 40 meV, previously reported in the literature for the HF + D channel. Contrary to the results of a former literature work, vibrational excitation of HD is found to enhance reactivity in all cases down to the lowest collision energy investigated. Shape-type orbiting resonances are found for collision energies lower than 2 meV. The resonances appear as peaks in the reaction cross sections that are associated to specific values of the total angular momentum, J. In contrast with the Feshbach resonances at higher energies, the orbiting resonance structure, which is caused by the van der Waals well of the entrance channel, is identical for the HF + D and DF + H exit channels. The orbiting resonance peaks for F + HD (v = 0) are very small, but those for F + HD (v = 1) could be observed, in principle, with a combination of Raman pumping and merged beams methods.

Abstract
The title reactions were studied in a crossed-beam experiment at collisional energies (Ec) from 0.5 to 4.7 kcal mol-1. The νb (ν4) vibrational mode denotes the bending (umbrella) motion of the CH3D reactant (CH2D product). Using a time-sliced, velocity-map imaging technique, we extracted the state-specific, pair-correlated integral and differential cross sections. As with other isotopically analogous ground-state reactions, an inverted vibrational population of the HF coproduct was observed. Both the step-like excitation function near the threshold and the oscillatory forward-backward peakings in the Ec-evolution of the two dominant pair-correlated angular distributions at lower Ec suggest a resonance-mediated, time-delay mechanism. As Ec increases, the angular distribution of the HF(ν = 2) product evolves into a smooth and broad swath in the backward hemisphere, indicative of a direct rebound mechanism. One quantum excitation of the bending modes of CH3D(νb = 1) promotes the reaction rate by two- to three-fold up to Ec = 2.1 kcal mol-1. Broadly speaking, all major findings are qualitatively in line with previous results in the reactions of the F atom with other isotopologues. However, the rainbow feature recently observed in the CH2D(00) + HF(ν = 3) product channel is entirely absent. A possible rationale is put forward, which reinforces the previous reactive rainbow conjecture and calls for future theoretical investigations.

Abstract
To investigate how molecular orientations affect low energy scattering, we have studied the rotational relaxation of HD (v = 1, j = 2, m) → (v' = 1, j' = 0) by collision with ground-state He, where v, j, and m designate the vibrational, rotational, and magnetic quantum numbers, respectively. We experimentally probed different collision geometries by preparing three specific m sublevels, including an m entangled sublevel, belonging to a single rovibrational (v = 1, j = 2) energy level within the ground electronic state of HD using Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage. Low collision energies (0-5 K) were achieved by coexpanding a 1:19 HD:He mixture in a highly collimated supersonic beam, which has defined the direction of the collision velocity and restricted the incoming orbital angular momentum states, defined by the quantum number l, to l ≤ 2. Partial wave analysis of experimental data shows that a single l = 2 input orbital dominates the scattered angular distribution, implying the presence of a collisional resonance. The differential scattering angular distribution exhibits a greater than fourfold stereodynamic preference for the m = 0 input state vs m = ±2, when the quantization axis is oriented parallel to the collision velocity.

Abstract
A unified weak-field control scheme to modify the two properties that determine the whole behavior of a resonance state, namely the lifetime and the asymptotic fragment distribution produced upon resonance decay, is proposed. Control is exerted through quantum interference induced between overlapping resonances of the system, by exciting two different energies at which the resonances overlap. The scheme applies a laser field consisting of a first pulse that excites the energy of the resonance to be controlled, and two additional pulses that excite another different energy to induce interference, with a delay time with respect to the first pulse. Each of the two additional pulses is used to control one of the two resonance properties, by adjusting its corresponding delay time: with a relatively short delay time the second pulse controls the resonance lifetime, while with a very long delay time the third pulse modifies the asymptotic fragment distribution produced. The efficiency of the control of each resonance property is found to be strongly dependent on the choice of the second interfering energy, which allows for a more flexible control optimization by choosing a different energy for each property. The theory underlying the interference mechanism of the control scheme is developed and presented, and is applied to analyze and explain the results obtained. The present scheme thus appears to be a useful tool for controlling resonance-mediated molecular processes.

Abstract
The photoelectron spectra of Sm2O- obtained over a range of photon energies exhibit anomalous changes in relative excited-state band intensities. Specifically, the excited-state transition intensities increase relative to the transition to the neutral ground state with decreasing photon energy, the opposite of what is expected from threshold effects. This phenomenon was previously observed in studies on several Sm-rich homo- and heterolanthanide oxides collected with two different harmonic outputs of a Nd:YAG (2.330 and 3.495 eV) [ J. Chem. Phys. 2017, 146, 194310]. We relate these anomalous intensities to populations of ground and excited anionic and neutrals states through the inspection of time-dependent perturbation theory within the adiabatic and sudden limits and for the first time show that transition intensities in photoelectron spectroscopy have a deep significance in gauging participation from excited states. We believe our results will have significance in the study of other electron-rich systems that have especially high density of accessible spin states.

Abstract
Resonances in ultracold collisions involving heavy molecules are difficult to simulate theoretically and have proven challenging to detect. Here we report the observation of magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances in ultracold collisions between potassium-40 (40K) atoms and sodium-23–potassium-40 (23Na40K) molecules in the rovibrational ground state. We prepare the atoms and molecules in various hyperfine levels of their ground states and observe the loss of molecules as a function of the magnetic field. The atom-molecule Feshbach resonances are identified by observing an enhancement of the loss. We have observed 11 resonances in the magnetic field range of 43 to 120 gauss. The observed atom-molecule Feshbach resonances at ultralow temperatures probe the three-body potential energy surface with exceptional resolution and will help to improve understanding of ultracold collisions.

Abstract
It is known that the long-time energy-resolved photofragment state distribution produced upon photodissociation of a molecule cannot be modified in the weak-field limit for a fixed pump pulse spectral profile. This work, however, demonstrates both computationally and mathematically that the above limitation can be circumvented in practice when the molecule presents overlapping resonances. It is shown that when two or more energies where the resonances overlap are excited by different laser pulses delayed in time, interference is induced between the product fragment states associated with the different energies populated. The occurrence of interference is found to be independent of the delay time between the pulses exciting the different energies. Thus, as demonstrated, this finding makes it possible to modify the fragment distribution at a given energy, as far in time and as many times as desired.

Abstract
The title reaction was studied in a crossed-beam scattering experiment at the collisional energy ( Ec) ranging from 0.46 to 4.53 kcal mol-1. Using a time-sliced velocity-imaging technique, both the pair-correlated integral and differential cross sections were measured. On the basis of the observed structures in state-specific excitation functions and the patterns in the Ec evolution of product angular distributions, we inferred that the title reaction proceeds predominantly via a resonance-mediated pathway, in contrast to the previous findings in the isotopically analogous reactions where the alternative direct abstraction pathway often dominates the reactivity. Despite the complexity of numerous scattering resonances involved in this six-atom reaction, extending our understanding of the isolated resonance in the analogous benchmark F + HD (H2) reaction enables us to propose plausible mechanistic origins for the formation as well as the decay of the complicated overlapped resonances.

Abstract
The enhancement of the resonance lifetime that occurs upon interference of two overlapping resonances excited coherently by two pulses with delayed time has been investigated as a function of the pulse temporal width and the delay time between the pulses. A general law predicting quantitatively the optimal delay time that maximizes the lifetime enhancement of the two resonances has been established in terms of the pulse width and of the lifetimes of both resonances when they are excited isolatedly. The specific form of the law and all the results found can be closely related to the characteristic features of the mechanism of interference between the overlapping resonances, providing a detailed understanding on how the mechanism operates. The proposed law is envisioned as a useful tool to design experimental strategies to control the resonance lifetime.

Abstract
The existence of a structure in a resonance state is systematically investigated. A resonance structure is defined as the energy dependence across the resonance width of the fragment state distributions produced upon resonance decay. Different types of resonances, both isolated and overlapping ones, have been explored for this purpose. It is found that isolated resonances do not present an appreciable energy dependence on the product state distributions. On the contrary, overlapping resonances exhibit a clear structure regarding the fragment distributions, which becomes increasingly more pronounced as the intensity of the overlap between the resonances increases. Such an energy dependence of the product distributions arises from the quantum interference between the amplitudes of the overlapping resonances, as demonstrated formally here by the equations derived from the condition of resonance overlap. The application of the present effect to the control of the fragment state distributions produced in a wide variety of molecular processes governed by resonance states is envisioned.

Abstract
We focus on the long-pending issue of the inadequacy of the Dirac bubble potential model in the description of He-He interactions in the continuum [L. L. Lohr and S. M. Blinder, Int. J. Quantum Chem. 53, 413 (1995)]. We attribute this failure to the lack of a potential wall to mimic the onset of the repulsive interaction at close range separations. This observation offers the explanation to why this excessively simple model proves incapable of quantitatively reproducing previous experimental findings of glory scattering in He-He, although being notorious for its capability of reproducing several distinctive features of the atomic and isotopic helium dimers and trimers [L. L. Lohr and S. M. Blinder, Int. J. Quantum Chem. 90, 419 (2002)]. Here, we show that an infinitely high, energy-dependent potential wall of properly calculated thickness rc(E) taken as a supplement to the Dirac bubble potential suffices for agreement with variable-energy elastic collision cross section experiments for 4He-4He, 3He-4He, and 3He-3He [R. Feltgen et al., J. Chem. Phys. 76, 2360 (1982)]. In the very low energy regime, consistency is found between the Dirac bubble potential (to which our extended model is shown to reduce) and cold collision experiments [J. C. Mester et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1343 (1993)]; this consistency, which in this regime lends credence to the Dirac bubble potential, was never noticed by its authors. The revised model being still analytic is of high didactical value while expected to increase in predictive power relative to other appraisals.

Abstract
The concept of the transition state has played an important role in the field of chemical kinetics and reaction dynamics. Reactive resonances in the transition-state region can dramatically enhance the reaction probability; thus investigation of the reactive resonances has attracted great attention from chemical physicists for many decades. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent progress made in probing the elusive resonance phenomenon in the simple A + BC reaction and understanding its nature, especially in the benchmark F/Cl + H2 and their isotopic variants. The signatures of reactive resonances in the integral cross section, differential cross section (DCS), forward- and backward-scattered DCS, and anion photodetachment spectroscopy are comprehensively presented in individual prototype reactions. The dynamical origins of reactive resonances are also discussed in this review, based on information on the wave function in the transition-state region obtained by time-dependent quantum wave-packet calculations.

Abstract
In this review, we survey the latest advances in theoretical understanding of bimolecular reaction dynamics in the past decade. The remarkable recent progress in this field has been driven by more accurate and efficient ab initio electronic structure theory, effective potential-energy surface fitting techniques, and novel quantum scattering algorithms. Quantum mechanical characterization of bimolecular reactions continues to uncover interesting dynamical phenomena in atom-diatom reactions and beyond, reaching an unprecedented level of sophistication. In tandem with experimental explorations, these theoretical developments have greatly advanced our understanding of key issues in reaction dynamics, such as microscopic reaction mechanisms, mode specificity, product energy disposal, influence of reactive resonances, and nonadiabatic effects.

Abstract
The photodetachment of the FH2O(-) anion is investigated quantum mechanically on accurate full-dimensional potential energy surfaces of the two lowest-lying electronic states of FH2O. The calculated photoelectron spectrum possesses both broad and sharp features, corresponding to reactive and nonreactive Feshbach resonances. The former extend to both reactant and product channels over the transition state, while the latter are supported by a hydrogen bonded HO-HF well in the product channel. Many of the resonances are assignable with quantum numbers for the stretching and bending modes of the HO-HF complex as well as the H-F vibration. The implications of these resonances in the F + H2O ↔ HF + HO reaction are discussed.
