Abstract
The temporary trapping of a light atom in between two heavy atoms is a ssociated with short lived overlapping resonances. It is shown for the electronically excited ArHCl that these quantum diffraction resonance s can be associated, within the framework of the adiabatic approximati on, with the non-physical poles of the scattering matrix when the ligh t atom is scattered through one-dimensional dynamical barriers.
