Crossed beam studies of O/-/ + D2 yields OD/-/ + D

Using the crossed-beam machine EVA measurements have been conducted of the product angular and energy distributions of the reaction O(-) + D2 yields 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.
