چکیده
A time-dependent coupled-channel approach was used to calculate ionization, excitation, and energyloss cross sections as well as energy spectra for antiproton and proton collisions with molecular hydrogen for impact energies 8<E< 4000 keV.

Stopping power of antiprotons in H, H2, and He targets
The stopping power of antiprotons in atomic and molecular hydrogen as well as helium was calculated in an impact-energy range from 1 keV to 6.4 MeV. In the case of H2 and He the targets were described with a single-active electron model centered on the target. The collision process was treated with the close-coupling formulation of the impact-parameter method. An extensive comparison of the pre...

Introduction: Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that it uses protons to treat cancer. Because of the protons’ unique ability to distribute the radiation dose more directly to the tumor, it minimizes the damage to nearby healthy tissues. The rate of energy loss by the ion in the target is called stopping power. The total stopping power is sum nuclear and electroni...
متن کاملDirect excitations of He+ and Li++ ions by collisions with protons or antiprotons
The impact parameter formalism of the single-center close-coupling, first-, and second-order Born approximations have been applied to investigate direct excitations of Helium He+(2s) and Lithium Li++(2s) ions by colliding with protons or antiprotons. The total 3s, 3p, and 3d scaled excitation cross sections are calculated in the scaled impact energy region (2 to 1000 keV). The present work aims...
متن کاملThe stopping of low energy ions in reactions of astrophysical interest
The velocity dependence of the stopping power of swift protons and deuterons in low energy collisions with hydrogen and helium gas targets is investigated with the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger coupled-channels equations using molecular orbital wavefunctions. At low projectile energies the stopping is mainly due to nuclear stopping, charge exchange of the electron, and ex...
متن کاملCollisions of low-energy antiprotons and protons with atoms and molecules
Antiproton (p̄) collisions have evolved to a powerful tool for the testing of dynamic electron correlations in atoms and molecules. While advances in the understanding of p̄ collisions with the simplest oneand two-electron atoms, H and He, have been achieved experiment and theory did not agree for low-energy p̄ + He collisions (< 40 keV), stimulating a vivid theoretical activity. On the other hand...
