Ultrafast Chemical Processes I
Chemical reactions of seeming simplicity often take place on a time scale that has made elucidating the reaction mechanism all but impossible. This symposium presents new results, both conceptual and technical, that span a wide variety of ultrafast processes in chemically important systems. Both theory and experiment are presented.
