4 The Treatment of Few-Body Reactions
Fig. 4.20 Plot of trajectories with a high vibrational and translational energy content being reflected
back by the repulsive wall facing the entrance channel. After bouncing back the trajectory can head
to reactant asymptote (central panel) or to the product one (LHS panel). Bounced back trajectories,
however, may still have a further complex fate by undergoing a few further forth and back oscillations
before landing into its final asymptote (RHS panel)

energy contours
