Photodissociation of Ar-HCl: An energy-resolved study of the dynamics of total fragmentation into H+Ar+Cl

UV photolysis of Ar-HCl is simulated by means of an exact wave packet treatment in three dimensions. The focus of the work is on the mechanism of indirect dissociation of the hydrogen atom, which leads to total fragmentation of Ar-HCl into H, Ar, and Cl. The results predict for this photodissociatio...
