Abstract
In this Perspective we briefly review our recent studies which prove unequivocally the existence of a quantum dynamical resonance in the F + HD → HF + D reaction. The signatures of the resonance in the integral and differential cross sections of this reaction are elucidated. The interplay between experiment and theory is crucial in establishing the existence of a resonance in a bimolecular reaction and in revealing its physical characteristics.
