H/D Fragment Ratio in Lyman-Alpha Photolysis of Ch2D2
The photofragment imaging technique is used to study the formation of H and D in the photolysis of CH2D2. From the images different reaction channels are distinguished that lead to hydrogen fragments. For the channel that leads to hydrogen atoms concomitant with methyl fragments a H/D ratio of 3.5+/-0.6 is found.
