Competing ionization and dissociation: Extension of the energy-dependent frame transformation to the gerade symmetry of H2

Original language description

This article solves two major tasks that frequently arise in the theory of electron collisions with a target molecular cation. First, it extends the energy-dependent frame transformation (EDFT) treatment, which is needed to map fixed-nuclei electron-molecule scattering matrices into an energy-dependent laboratory-frame scattering matrix with vibrational channel indices. The EDFT mapping can now be carried out even when the target molecule possesses multiple low-energy potential curves, significantly transcending previous applications. Second, it implements a method to extract the rest of the full laboratory-frame scattering matrix, i.e., the columns and rows describing input and/or output dissociation channels. The treatment is benchmarked in this article against the essentially exact solution of a refined two-dimensional model of the singlet gerade Σ symmetry of H2. Our tests demonstrate that the theory accurately maps fixed-nuclei scattering information, of the type provided by existing electron-molecule computer codes, into a laboratory-frame scattering matrix that includes both ionization and dissociation. This treatment can provide a general framework applicable to a broad class of electron collision processes involving diatomic target ions, suitable for an accurate description of challenging processes such as dissociative recombination.
