The effect of reactant vibrational state on differential charge transfer cross sections for T 2+(X 2 Σ g+, ν 0′) + T 2(X 1 Σ g+, ν 0″) collisions

Abstract

Differential charge transfer cross sections for reactions of vibrationally excited incident ions and molecules have been computed for the T 2 +(X 2 Σ g +, ν 0′) + T 2(X 1 Σ g +, ν 0″) system. Differential cross sections for the formation of neutral products become more intense and concentrated in the forward direction as the quantum number of the reactant ion and/or molecule is increased.
