Reaction kinetics: isotope effects feel the cold: Reaction kinetics meets collision spectroscopy

Kinetic isotope effects are widely used to elucidate reaction mechanisms and are generally interpreted in terms of simple kinetic models. Measurements of this effect for the Penning ionization reaction between helium and dihydrogen highlight the need for a quantum description of chemical reaction ra...
