adiabatic transition-state theory

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.A00146
A form of
transition-state theory
in which the system is assumed to preserve its internal quantum states as it moves over the
potential-energy (reaction) surface
. A detailed state-to-state
scattering
theory version of
adiabatic
transition-state theory has been referred to as the
adiabatic
channel
model.
