Abstract

New adiabatic potential energy surfaces (PESs) for 2A′ and 2A″ states of SiH(X2Π)-He(1S) complex have been calculated at the restricted coupled cluster level of theory including single, double and triple excitation [RCCSD(T)]. The RKHS method was used for the analytic fit of these PESs. The resulting PESs were employed later in the close-coupling approach for the computation of the inelastic integral cross sections which take into account the fine-structure of the SiH radical. Scattering calculations, are done on a grid of collision energies large enough to ensure converged state-to-state rate coefficients for the temperature ranging from 8K up to 300K.
