Description

A line shape formalism is derived classically which considers molecules undergoing both collisional and intramolecular relaxation. Results for a model system demonstrate a significant effect on the line shapes when chaos sets in and the intramolecular relaxation becomes important. An experiment on polyatomic molecules is proposed and should isolate the two effects
