We have investigated the reaction C(1D)+H2 at two collision energies, EC=1.86 and 3.8 kcal/mol, and the isotope variant C(1D)+D2 at EC=3.7 kcal/mol by measuring product angular and velocity distributions using a crossed beam apparatus with mass spectrometric detection and time-of-flight analysis. The CH product is formed mainly in v’=0 at the lowest EC, while also some CH(v’=1) is observed at the higher EC. The experimental results at EC=1.86 kcal/mol have been compared with those of exact quantum-mechanical (QM) scattering calculations and of quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) calculations carried on a new ab initio PES. Only QCT calculations are available for the higher EC and for C(1D)+D2. While there is a good agreement between QCT and QM results, some disagreement between experiment and theoretical predictions is noted, pointing to some inadequacies of the PES.
