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

Abstract

We study numerically collisions between protons and $H_2^{+}$ 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 $H^{+}-H_2^{+}$ scattering.
