p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal">Both fully dispersed unpolarized and polarized chemiluminescence spectra from the Ba(3P) + N2O reaction have been recorded under hyperthermal laser-ablated atomic beam-Maxwellian gas conditions at three specific average collision energies áEcñs in the range of 4.82-7.47 eV. A comprehensive analysis of the whole data series suggests that the A 1S+
