Most these observables difficult in oscillation experiments. There advantages atomic targets, such as closeness available energies anticipated masses, over nuclear target experiments end point...
Nuclear spin angular momentum in molecules with identical nuclei is conserved many physical and chemical processes, but its role reactions involving atomic rearrangements remains underexplored. In this study, we investigate the nuclear selection rules reaction between methylene (CH2) hydrogen (H2) using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy quantum solid parahydrogen. Our results show that triplet (3CH2) reaction, distribution of products matches perfectly expected for stepwise mechanism....

In this paper, we describe an experiment which was conducted to explore the macro-coherent amplification mechanism using a two-photon emission process from first vibrationally-excited state of para-hydrogen molecule. Large coherence in initial prepared by adiabatic Raman population transfer method, and lowest Stokes sideband used as trigger field. We observed coherent consistent with expectation paired super-radiance master equation.
