Antiproton – Hydrogen Atom Collision at Intermediate

چکیده
ion–atom collision processes is important in atomic physics. It helps us fundamentally understand particle interactions and the corresponding dynamics for applications in many subfields, such as fusion sciences, astrophysics, and material sciences. Furthermore, it presents an interesting problem as the basic physics. Energetic collision of two particles can produce processes; for example, ion– atom collisions frequently produce elastic scattering, electronic excitation, charge transfer, and ionization. An accurate description of the electrons’ behavior during the collision is essential to better understand the dynamics and precisely determine cross sections for these processes. To investigate the collision dynamics in detail, we must observe how the electronic state varies as the incident ion nears the target atom. Because measuring various observables as a function of the collision time is difficult, numerical simulation of the collision process is the only way to “see” the instantaneous collision, so it has attracted much attention.1,2 The simulation study must also include effective visualization schemes. We study the dynamics of ionization in antiproton–hydrogen collisions using a molecularorbital close-coupling (MOCC) method.1 We present the numerical result using a simulation technique to visualize the ionization and better understand the collision dynamics.

Quantum mechanical calculation of ejected electron spectra for ion–atom collisions
We present a quantum mechanical method for calculating the ejected electron probability distribution in ion–atom collisions. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation, formulated with a classical straight-line trajectory for the internuclear motion, is integrated directly on a two-centre momentum space grid. The time-dependent wavefunction at large internuclear separation is analysed to extract t...

The collision of an antiproton and a hydrogen atom at ultralow energies is described in hyperspherical coordinates. An adiabatic approximation leads to potential-energy curves that can be used to describe the dynamics of capture in the p̄ -H(1s) collision. A unified formulation of the collision and capture processes leading to formation of pp̄ bound states emerges. Both Pn(nl)-e ‘‘atomic-type’’ a...
متن کاملProtonium Formation in Antiproton–Hydrogen Collisions
We present a computation of the cross section of protonium formation in antiproton-hydrogen collisions using the nonlocal resonance model. It is based on restoration of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, when the adiabatic electronic basis is replaced with the so called diabatic one. This allows us to separate the electron and hadron parts of our problem at the cost of a nonlocal potential in ...
