Abstract
We report a quantum wave packet dynamics study of van der Waals molecular p redissociation. The quantum phase space structure as a function of time for HeI2 fragmentation is constructed using a Wigner representation. The predi ssociation rate is extracted from the time autocorrelation function, and co mparisons are made to the results of other calculations. We have also made a motion picture of the energy flow as a function time during the fragmenta tion process.
