A primary and long-standing goal of state-to-state chemistry is the determination of the quantum states of the final products given the quantum state of reactants. We have recently developed and demonstrated a method to probe diatomic molecular product states of reactive processes both qualitatively and quantitatively [1]. Using the given method we have investigated the recombination of three neutral rubidium atoms resulting in a dimer and a free atom. In this talk, we present our recent results on state-to-state chemistry for this fundamental reactive process.
