Abstract
The initial dissociative sticking probability of ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ on Cu(110) has been measured using vibrationally hot, translationally cold-seeded beams. The results indicate a dissociative barrier which is accessed through energy partition in both translational and vibrational degrees of freedom in the im- pinging hydrogen molecule. The experiment has enabled a determination of the translational requirement in dissociating hydrogen in the first vibrational excited state, and the results place the barrier at \ensuremath{\sim}1 eV, in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
