A CTMC study of collisions between protons and $H_2^+$ molecular ions

Abstract

We study numerically collisions between protons and H2+H_2^+ molecular ions at intermediate impact energies by using the Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo method (CTMC). Total and differential cross sections are computed. The results are compared with: a) the standard one electron--two nucleon scattering, and b) the quantum mechanical treatment of the H+H2+ H^{+} - H^{+}_{2} scattering.
