Abstract:
Single-differential, partial and total ionization cross sections for the proton-hydrogen collision system at low energy range (0.1-10 keV/amu) are determined by using the electron translation factor corrected molecular-orbital close-coupling method. Full convergence of ionization cross sections as a function of H_2^+ molecular basis size is achieved by including up to 10 bound states, and 11 continuum partial waves. The present cross sections are in an excellent agreement with the recent experiments of Shah et al.[J. Phys. B. 31, L757(1998)], but decrease more rapidly than the cross sections measured by Pieksma et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 46(1994)] with decreasing energy. The calculated cross section data are included in this report.
