Reduced dimensionality quantum calculations of integral cross sections for H + H 2(υ = 1) → H 2(υ′ = 0), H 2(υ′ = 1) + H

Abstract

Reduced dimensionality quantum, rotationally energy averaged integral cross sections for the H + H 2(υ = 1) → H 2(υ′ = 0), H 2(υ′ = 1) + H reactions are presented and compared to the recent centrifugal sudden results of Schatz, for the Porter-Karplus surface. A simple adiabatic analysis is also presented which accounts for the threshold behavior of the total cross section summed over υ′.
