For several decades, the influence of Two State Reactivity (TSR) has been implicated in a host of reactions, but has lacked a stand-alone, definitive experimental kinetic signature identifying its occurrence....

An analysis of the degree of convergence of theoretical pictures of the dynamics of the autoionization event He(23S)-D2(v" = 0) -> [He...D2+(v')] + e is presented for a number of batches of Monte Carlo calculations differing in the number of the trajectories run. The treatment of the dynamics consists in 2D classical trajectory calculations based on static characteristics which include a quantum mechanical treatment of the perturbed D2(v" = 0) and D2+(v') vibrational motion. The vibrational populations are dynamical averages over the local widths of the He(23S)-D2(v" = 0) state with respect to autoionization to D2+(...He) in its v'th vibrational level and the Penning electron energies are related to the local differences between the energies of the corresponding perturbed D2(v" = 0)(...He*) and D2+(v')(...He) vibrational states. Special attention is paid to the connection between the requirements on the degree of convergence of the classical trajectory picture of the event and the purpose of the calculations. Information is obtained regarding a scale of the trajectory calculations required for physically sensible applications of the model to an interpretation of different type of experiments on the system: total ionization cross section measurements, Penning ionization electron spectra, subsequent 3D classical trajectory calculations of branching ratios of the products of the postionization collision process, and interpretation of electron ion coincidence measurements of the product branching ratios for individual vibrational levels of the nascent Penning ion.

This paper describes model development and computations of multidimensional, highly compressible, time-dependent reacting on a Connection Machine (CM). We briefly discuss computational timings compared to a Cray YMP speed, optimal use of the hardware and software available, treatment of boundary conditions, and parallel solution of terms representing chemical reactions. In addition, we show the practical use of the system for large-scale reacting and nonreacting flows.
