Abstract
The semiclassical interpretation of reactive resonances as dynamically confined orbits is extended for the F + H2 reaction by construction of resonant-state wavefunctions according to a time-dependent formalism for Gaussian wavepacket dynamics. The partitioning of nodal curves between entrance and exit channels for the collinear resonances agrees with adiabatic theory and nodal surfaces for the 3D probability density distribution qualitatively agree with quantal calculations.
