✦ Synopsis
Ion-molecule reactions at very low energies (<lo-* eV) are investigated quantum-mechanically, taking the reaction H-+H+H2 t e as an example. Quantum effects, the zero-energy limit of the cross section, and the validity of an orbiting model are examined. Tbe orbiting model is found to be satisfactory. However, since the potential is much more attractive than the polarization force, the orbiting cross section is larger than the Langevin value. When the strength of the reactive interaction is artificially reduced, resonance effects become Important.
