Abstract
A study of the semiclassical analogue of hyperspherical quantum resonances found by Manz and co-workers in A + BA scattering on a coupled Morse oscillator potential energy surface is presented. Semiclassical (EBK) quantization based on Liapunov stability analysis of hyperspherical periodic orbits provides an excellent estimate for the quantum resonance energies. However, the regular region of phase space surrounding the orbits is too small to support a single quantum state. The periodic orbit analysis indicates the possible existence of quantum resonances in collision-induced dissociation.
