Abstract
An attempt is made to describe the H + on H collision in the intermediate energy range where neither the high energy nor the low energy theories are expected to work. A wave function that gives good results at both high and low energies is used in a variational expression to obtain intermediate energy results. This problem is considered as a prototype of ion-parent atom collisions where in general molecular wave functions are not available. Hence only atomic wave functions are used throughout. Results are presented for exchange to the ground state, total exchange, total ionization, and total nonexchange excitation. An attempt is also made to describe Everhart's experiment. A “damping” of the resonances is obtained with some improvement over previous results.
