Abstract

We present experimental verification of predicted resonance structure in the energy dependence of the

H + D_{2}

reaction. Specifically we predict and observe a broad resonance in the

H + D_{2} \to HD (v^{'} {= 0, j}^{'} = 7) + D

reaction at a collision energy of

0.94 eV

. This resonance structure is roughly Gaussian with a full width at half maximum of

0.1 eV

. These results represent the first experimentally observed resonance structure in the fundamental

H + H_{2}

reaction system.
