UKRmol: a low-energy electron- and positron-molecule scattering suite
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the UK computational implementation of the R-matrix method for the treatment of electron and positron scattering from molecules. Recent developments in the UKRmol suite are detailed together with the collision processes it is enabling us to treat.

متن کاملPolarisation effects in low-energy positron–molecule scattering
The UK molecular R-matrix method has been adapted to treat positron collisions from polyatomic targets. A simple empirical enhancement factor which corrects for the underestimation of electron–positron polarisation and correlation effects in the calculations performed with the static-plus-polarization model at low scattering energies is presented. Application of this model to positron scatterin...
متن کاملElectron and positron collisions with polar molecules: studies with the benchmark water molecule
It is difficult to measure low-energy cross sections for collisions of charged particles with strongly dipolar systems since the magnitude of such cross sections is completely dominated by collisions in the forward direction. Theoretically, it is possible to account for the strong forward scattering using the Born approximation but the procedure for combining Born ‘top-up’ with the more sophist...
متن کاملPolarisation potentials for positron-molecule collisions: positron-H, scattering
Model polarisation potentials for use in calculating positron-molecule cross sections are often based on approximations in which terms that depend on the sign of the charge of the projectile are neglected. Thus, these potentials do not fully distinguish between electron and positron scattering. The validity of using such potentials for positronH2 collisions is investigated by performing scatter...
متن کاملLow-energy positron scattering from atoms and molecules using positron accumulation techniques
Positron scattering from atoms and molecules is studied at low values of incident positron energy. The experiments use a cold magnetized positron beam formed in a positron accumulator. A discussion of positron scattering in a magnetic ®eld is presented along with dierential cross-sections (DCS) for positron±atom collisions and positron± molecule total vibrational excitation cross-sections. Abs...
