β¦ Synopsis
A new hypersphencal coordmate method for performing atom-diatom quantum mechanical collinear reaaive scattering calculattons is described The method ts appbcable at energies for whrch breakup channels are open. Comparison with previous results and new results at hrgh energies for H + Ha are grven. The usefulness of this approach is drscussed * Thrs work was supported m part by a contract (No. F49620-79-C-0187) from the Au Force Office of Sctentrfic Research ** Work performed in partsal fulfilment of the reqmrements for the Ph.D. degree m Chemistry at the Cahfomia Institute of Technology

Accurate CC calculations of 3D quantum reactive scattering using hyperspherical (APH) coordinates are reported for both zero and non-zero total angular momentum J and for both symmetric (H + HZ) and unsymmetric (D + HZ) mass combinations. Accurate 3D reactive scattering calculations are now possible
In this article we briefly discuss a number of promising approaches to the formulation of a general, numerically exact, quantum mechanical theory of fully three-dimensional reactive atom-diatom collisions. It is noted that the ability to treat the three-dimensional H + HY exchange reactions is pre-r
Calculations of quantum mechanical probabilities and rate constants for the collinear reaction Br + HC1 (o = 2, 3,4) BrH + C1, Br + HCI(o' < o) were performed using hyperspherical coordinates. Removal of vibrationaUy excited HC1 proceeds mainly by reaction to a nearly degenerate HBr state. Processes
The propagation of the solution to the time-dependent Schrijdinger equation using grid methods has been investigated. The convergence of reaction probabilities with respect to the grid size as well as the efficiency of different propagation schemes (Chebyshev, Lanczos) and kinetic energy evaluation
We have applied the fast-Fourier-transform (FFT) method for propagating the solution of the timedepcndent Schriidinger equation for a reactive atom-diatom collision in hyperspkrical coordinates. Iithe present paper the dimensionaliv of the quantum subspace is reduced to two by introducing a semiclas
