   Can anyone give a description for this reaction:   
   Xe** + Cl2 + M → XeCl* + Cl + M, where k is rate constant   
   The reaction is taken from a french article and if i translate it literally,   
   "Réactions à trois corps", it translates as "reaction with three bodies."   
   I wonder if I am right translating it that way, especially where I know   
   nothing about Xenon dichloride or the exciplex molecule used for lasers   
   which the article in question is about.   
   thanks. please, can someone help me.   
      
   In English, this is at "three body reaction" or a "termolecular reaction"
