Abstract

Photodissociation of Ar–HCl is simulated by exact wavepacket calculations. The asymptotic wavepacket is projected out onto the product states corresponding to several excitation energies of Ar–HCl. A high relative efficiency of Ar–Cl formation is found at low and high cluster excitation energies. The ro-vibrational state distribution of the Ar–Cl radical formed is reflected in the kinetic-energy distribution of the H fragment. Photolysis of Ar–HCl then appears as an efficient method for preparing Ar–Cl radicals, simultaneously probing their final state distribution.
