Photodissociation dynamics in the gas phase and rotational recurrences in ensembles of photofragments

The feasibility of the application of the rotational coherence spectroscopy (RCS) to photoreactions, both in the gas phase under collision free conditions and in collision environments is estimated, with the ultimate goal to examine a possibility to extract information about the dissociation and collision dynamics by inspecting the RR (rotational recurrences) evolution in real time.
