  • Detected sharply varying forward-backward peaks in the product distribution of the differential cross section.
  • Established that a reactive resonance localized in the transition-state region governs the reaction.

    • Conclusions:

    • The F+HD reaction proceeds predominantly via resonant tunneling at collision energies below 1 kcal/mol.
    • The observed resonance significantly influences the reaction pathway and product scattering.
    • This study highlights the importance of resonance phenomena in chemical reactions.
