We present a detailed quantum-mechanical study for dissociation of vibrationally excited molecular diatomic target, of H{sub 2}({nu}{sub i}) by proton impact and H{sub 2}{sup +}({nu}{sub i}) by hydrogen-atom impact, in the range of center-of-mass collision energies from threshold to 9.5 eV. The dominant dissociation mechanisms in this three-atomic collision system are identified and their effectiveness analyzed for different collision geometries. The cross section calculations for direct and charge-transfer dissociation are performed by solving the Schroedinger equation for the nuclear and electronic motions on the two lowest diabatic electronic surfaces of H{sub 3}{sup +}, and by using an expansion of nuclear wave function in a vibrational basis containing all discrete H{sub 2} and H{sub 2}{sup +} states and a large number of pseudostates from each of the corresponding discretized continua. The energy and angular spectra of the fragments are also calculated and analyzed.
