Antihydrogen formation in low-energy antiproton collisions with excited-state positronium atoms
The convergent close-coupling method is used to obtain cross sections for antihydrogen formation in low-energy antiproton collisions with positronium (Ps) atoms in specified initial excited states with princip...

Open AccessQuantum suppression of antihydrogen formation in positronium-antiproton scattering
The interaction of antiprotons with low-energy positronium atoms is a fundamental three-body problem whose significance is its utility for formation of antihydrogen. Particular importance resides in understand...

Threshold-related effects on the high energy plateau in above-threshold detachment
We present results of a nonperturbative Floquet study of above-threshold detachment (ATD) of the H− and F− negative ions. Pronounced enhancements of ATD rates in the high-energy plateau region are found as the la...

Nondissociative electron attachment to molecules and clusters
We present results of effective range theory calculations of nondissociative electron attachment to SF6 molecules and CO2 clusters. The first process is strongly influenced by the SF-6 virtual state, and the seco...

Dissociative Electron Attachment in Gas and Condensed Phases
The resonance theory of electron-molecule collisions developed by O’Malley1 and Bardsley2 has become an efficient tool for ab initio calculations of dissociative attachment (DA) processes for diatomic molecules. ...

Vibrational Feshbach resonances in electron attachment to carbon dioxide clusters
Using a high resolution ( meV) laser photoelectron attachment method, we have studied the formation of (CO 2) q − ions (q = 4−22) in collisio...

Effects of solvation on dissociative electron attachment to methyl iodide clusters
Using laser photoelectron attachment to methyl iodide clusters in a differentially-pumped seeded supersonic helium beam and mass spectrometric ion detection, we have measured the rate coefficients for formatio...

Collisional broadening of Rydberg atoms perturbed by ground-state sodium atoms
Collisional broadening ofnS Rydberg states of alkali-metal atoms by sodium atoms is calculated using the adiabatic approach for the3Σ quasimolecular state, and impulse approximation for all other contributions to...

R-matrix theory of inelastic processes in low-energy electron collisions with HCl molecule
The processes of vibrational excitation and dissociative attachment in low-energy electron collisions with HCl molecule are considered. TheR matrix theory of these processes incorporating nuclear dynamics is deve...
