Positronium atom scattering by H2 in a coupled-channel framework
P. K. Biswas, Sadhan K. Adhikari
Abstract
The scattering of ortho positronium (Ps) by H2 has been investigated using a three-Ps-state [Ps(1s,2s,2p)H2(X 1Σg+)] coupled-channel model and using Born approximation for higher excitations and ionization of Ps and B 1Σu+ and b 3Σu+ excitations of H2. We employ a recently proposed time-reversal-symmetric nonlocal electron-exchange model potential. We present a calculational scheme for solving the body-frame fixed-nuclei coupled-channel scattering equations for Ps-H2, which simplifies the numerical solution technique considerably. Ps ionization is found to have the leading contribution to target-elastic and all target-inelastic processes. The total cross sections at low and medium energies are in good agreement with experiment.
