Theoretical Results

Partial wave resonances predicted to occur in bimolecular collision processes have proven challenging to observe experimentally. Here, we report crossed-beam experiments and quantum-scattering calculations on inelastic collisions between ground-state O2 and H2 molecules that provide state-to-state cross sections for rotational excitation of O2 (rotational state N = 1, j = 0) to O2 (N = 1, j = 1) in the vicinity of the thermodynamic threshold at 3.96 centimeter−1. The close agreement between experimental and theoretical results confirms the classically forbidden character of this collision-induced transition, which occurs exclusively in a purely quantum mechanical regime via shape and Feshbach resonances arising from partial waves with total angular momentum (J) = 2 to 4.

A summary is presented of the processes by which low energy electrons lose energy in moving through the atmosphere and estimates are given of the cross sections and energy loss rates. The mechanisms by which thermal electrons cool are described and the cooling efficiencies are listed.

AbstractThe cross sections for rotational inelastic collisions between atoms and a molecular anion can be very large, if the anion has a dipole moment. This makes molecular anions very efficient in cooling atomic gases. We address rotational inelastic collisions of Helium atoms with the molecular anion C2N–. Here we present preliminary calculations of the potential energy surface.

The available [Formula: see text]-matrix parametrization of experimental data on the excitation functions for the elastic and inelastic [Formula: see text] scattering at the collision energies up to 3.4[Formula: see text]MeV is used to generate the corresponding partial-wave cross-sections in the states with [Formula: see text]. Thus, obtained data are fitted using the semi-analytic two-channel Jost matrix with a proper analytic structure and some adjustable parameters. Then the spectral points are sought as zeros of the Jost matrix determinant (which correspond to the [Formula: see text]-matrix poles) at complex energies. The correct analytic structure makes it possible to calculate the fitted Jost matrix on any sheet of the Riemann surface whose topology involves not only the square-root but also the logarithmic branching caused by the Coulomb interaction. In this way, two overlapping [Formula: see text] resonances at the excitation energies [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MeV have been found.

Good Agreement

The importance of coupling for fast collisions between protons and hydrogen atoms is examined with the two-centred expansion in atomic eigenfunctions proposed by Bates (1958 a ). Cross-sections are evaluated for reactions H + + H (I s ) → H(I s ) + H + , H + + H( I s ) → H(2 s ) + H + , and H + + H(l a ) → H + + H(2 s ). The effect of a single intermediate state, either I s or 2 s , is considered. For the non-resonance processes, it is found that the cross-sections may be substantially increased by passage through intermediate state for incident energies less than about 10 keV, tending towards equality with decrease in relative velocity. Results obtained for the symmetrical resonance reactions are in good agreement with the two-state solutions of McCarroll (1961).
