Charge transfer and dissociation of H2 molecule in slow collisions with C4+ ions

Abstract Multi-electron transfer and dissociation processes for collisions of C 4+ ions with oriented hydrogen molecule are theoretically studied for projectile energies ranging from 0.1 to 4.67 keV/amu. The calculations are performed in the classical molecular dynamics approach (CMD) and two particular orientations of the target molecule have been considered: a first one, where the H 2 molecule is in the incidence direction (along the OX axis) and a second one where the H 2 molecule is in the plane perpendicular to the incidence direction (YOZ plane).
