Title: Non-adiabatic quantum reactive scattering calculations for the ultracold hydrogen exchange reaction: H + H2( v = 4 - 8 , j = 0 ) H + H2( v ' , j ' )

Abstract

A non-adiabatic quantum dynamics methodology based on a time-independent coupled-channel approach is applied to the fully symmetric H + H2( v = 4 - 8 , j = 0 ) H + H2( v ' , j ' ) reaction for the first time. A two-state diabatic representation is used which includes the effects of the geometric phase (GP) and other non-adiabatic couplings. Ultracold rate coefficients are reported as a function of collision energy between 1 μ K and 100 K . A second set of adiabatic calculations are also performed both with and without the GP. The results for v > 4 are reported here for the first time and a new experimentally detectable signature of the GP is discovered associated with the dramatic appearance of an l = 1 shape resonance near 1 K in the total rate coefficient for v = 6 which is absent for v = 4 and 5.
