As far as we are aware, this is the only previous example in which conclusive experimental evidence has been provided for resonances in a bimolecular reaction.

23. Strictly speaking, shape resonances are only properly defined for single-channel processes (see ref. 20). For multichannel scattering things are more complicated, as multichannel coupling can often play a role in the resonance decay mechanism (in addition to the single-channel tunnelling through an angular momentum barrier that characterizes shape resonance decay). Nevertheless, we have decided to use the term ''shape resonance'' to describe the decay of the present resonance into HF(v' ~ 3), to contrast this with the ''Feshbach resonance'' situation in which the resonance state predissociates into HF(v' ¡ 2).
