The unbiased Diffusion Monte Carlo: a versatile tool for two-electron systems confined in different geometries
Gaia Micca Longo, Carla Maria Coppola, Domenico Giordano +1
Computational codes based on the Diffusion Monte Carlo method can be used to determine the quantum state of two-electron systems confined by external potentials of various nature a…
Temperature and density dependent cooling function for H with updated H/H collisional rates
Carla Maria Coppola, François Lique, Francesca Mazzia +2
The energy transfer among the components in a gas determines its fate. Especially at low temperatures, inelastic collisions drive the cooling and the heating mechanisms. In the ear…
Non-thermal photons and direct photodissociation of H2, HD and HeH+ in the chemistry of the primordial Universe
C. M. Coppola, M. V. Kazandjian, D. Galli +2
Non-thermal photons deriving from radiative transitions among the internal ladder of atoms and molecules are an important source of photons in addition to thermal and stellar sourc…
State-to-state vibrational kinetics of H and H in a post-shock cooling gas with primordial composition
C. M. Coppola, G. Mizzi, D. Bruno +4
The radiative cooling of shocked gas with primordial chemical composition is an important process relevant to the formation of the first stars and structures, as well as taking pla…
Vibrational level population of H and H in the early Universe
Carla M. Coppola, Savino Longo, Mario Capitelli +2
We formulate a vibrationally resolved kinetics for molecular hydrogen and its cation in the primordial Universe chemistry. Formation, destruction and relaxation processes for each…
