Crossed beam studies of O−+D2→OD−+D

Using the crossed-beam machine EVA we have measured the product angular and energy distributions of the reaction O−+D2→OD−+D in the relative energy range of 1.2–4.7 eV (5.7–23.1 eV LAB). Below 2.5 eV the product distribution is centered about the center of mass, indicating a long-lived complex. Above 2.5 eV the distribution slowly moves forward. Most of the available energy goes into internal energy of the products.
