Low temperature HD + $ortho$-/$para$-H$_2$ inelastic scattering of astrophysical interest

Abstract

State-selected total cross sections and thermal rate coefficients are computed for the HD + orthoortho-/parapara-H2_2 rotational energy transfer collision at low temperatures: 2 K \lesssim T \lesssim 300 K. A modified H2_2-H2_2 potential energy surface (PES) devised by Hinde is used for this pure quantum-mechanical dynamical computation. A comparison of the new results for the HD + orthoortho-/parapara-H2_2 scattering problem and previous calculations computed with the use of other older PESs is presented and discussed.
