Convergent close-coupling calculations of electron scattering from H2+ initially in the electronic ground 1sSg, vibrational state v_i=8. Dissociative excitation cross sections (DECS) of the (1sSg, v_i) state, where s refers to orbital angular momentum l = 0, S refers to the symbol sigma (orbital angular momentum projection m = 0) and g refers to the states even parity. The dissociative excitation process: e- + H2+ ---> H(nl) + H+ + e-. Here DECS are calculated as the sum of all electronic excitation cross sections. Cross sections are calculated in the adiabatic-nuclei approximation where the cross section have been summed analytically over all final rotational and vibrational states. These cross sections were calculated with a 351-state CCC calculation. To reference and for details see M. C. Zammit, D. V. Fursa, and I. Bray, Phys. Rev. A 90, 022711 (2014). |
