The reaction F+p-H/sub 2/..-->..HF+H was studied in a high-resolution crossed-molecular-beams experiment at a collision energy of 1.84 kcal/mole. Center-of-mass translational energy and angular distributions were determined for each product vibrational state. The v = 3 product showed intense forward scattering while the v = 2 product was backward peaked. These results suggest that dynamical resonances play an important role in the reaction dynamics of this system.
