Abstract

We report quasiclassical trajectory calculations for the reaction Li + Cs 2 → LiCs + Li. The influence of the very pronounced mass differences of the colliding partners on the various dynamics attributes is investigated in detail. A remarkable linear dependence of the translational exothermicity as a function of the initial translational energy is observed, and rationalized using a hybrid statistical/stripping-spectator model.
