We examine the possibility of existence of dynamical resonances in col
linear (He,HD+) and (He,DH+) collisions by analyzing their respective
transition state spectra on the McLaughlin-Thompson-Joseph-Sathyamurth
y potential energy surface (PES). The spectra are computed by Fourier
transforming the temporal autocorrelation function, C(t), of the initi
al wave packet. Some of the well resolved resonances are analyzed by c
omputing their eigenfunctions and lifetimes. The vibrational state (v)
- selected energy resolved reaction probabilities (P-v(R)(E)) for col
linear (He,HD+) and (He,DH+) collisions are also calculated on the sam
e PES by computing the reactive flux in the product channel. The P-v(R
)(E) values for HeHD+ show a characteristic staircase-like structure t
hat can be related to threshold resonances. The P-v(R)(E) values for H
eDH+ on the other hand, are highly oscillatory, in keeping with the de
nsely packed transition state spectrum.
