Radiative transitions in quasimolecules: H+H- collisions

Abstract

The H + H- ⟶ H- + H + ħω, H + H- +ħω⟶ H + H + e reactions give examples of bound-bound and bound-free electron transitions in the H + H– quasi-molecules temporally formed during collisions. The present work is aimed at the calculations of spectral profiles produced in the reactions of resonant charge exchange H + H-. The oscillator strength of photodetachment of quasimolecules has been calculated for the first time.
