Collisions of electrons with hydrogen atoms II. Low-energy program using the method of the exterior complex scaling
2014
Abstract
While collisions of electrons with hydrogen atoms pose a well studied and in some sense closed problem, there is still no free computer code ready for "production use", that would enable applied researchers to generate necessary data for arbitrary impact energies and scattering transitions directly if absent in on-line scattering databases. This is the second article on the Hex program package, which describes a new computer code that is, with a little setup, capable of solving the scattering equations for energies ranging from a fraction of the ionization threshold to approximately 100 eV or more, depending on the available computational resources.
The program implements the exterior complex scaling method in the B-spline basis.
