47. We can neglect the influence of the Cl atom nuclear spin and describe only its electron angular momentum because the dissociation occurs typically on a much faster time scale than the hyperfine interaction.

51. 2. Assuming that the function f is symmetric relative to reflection in the X-Y plane and substituting the integration variable z for r, one obtains Eq. (35).
52. Most analyses of v-J correlation data assume the separability h(r,θ,φ) =f(θ,φ)g(r). However in general, angular momentum polarization will depend on recoil speed, so this separation will not be valid.

67. Since the precession time associated with the hyperfine structure splitting in chlorine is short with respect to the laser pulse time, we can use the long-time-limit hyperfine depolarization coefficient (Refs. 1 and 66) which in this case evaluates to 3.7.

69. neΩ ne′Ω′ should be considered phenomenological parameters, since Eq. (2) was derived in the axial recoil approximation. Thus the molecular wave function phase difference, which is probably responsible for the sign of the observed experimental signal, was not accounted for.
