Abstract
The angular distribution of a reactive molecular collision is analysed when a resonance is present. A new generic semiclassical formula invo lving the complementary error function is derived for the scattering a mplitude. Powerful complex angular momentum techniques are applied to the theory of chemical reactions for the first time. Results are repor ted for the Cl+HCl-->CIH+Cl reaction.
