Abstract.
NaI molecules predissociate after excitation with ultrashort pulses at a peak wavelength of 320 nm. In rare gas environments at higher pressures the process of geminate recombination is likely to occur. We studied the dynamics of these processes under various pressure conditions and for different collision partners. The calculations were performed within a three-dimensional statistical model which simulates the NaI wave-packet dynamics with classical trajectories and the collisions via an instantaneous hard-sphere scattering.
