Time-dependent wave packet calculations for the photodissociation of molecular chlorine

The photodissociation dynamics of Cl2 molecule has been studied within the framework of the time-dependent quantum-mechanical wave packet simulation. The computed excitation cross-sections (A-X, B-X, C-X) of Cl2 (see picture) are based on the computed potential energy curves for the ground and excited (A, B, C) valence Cl2 states.
