Quantum Dynamics of Rotational Transitions in CN (X2Σ+) by H+ Collisions
Collisional cross-sections of inelastic rotational excitations of CN in its ground electronic state (X2Σ+) by H+ scattering are studied by the exact quantum mechanical close-coupling (CC) method at very low collision energies (0–600 cm−1) relevant to interstellar atmospheres. Ab initio rigid rotor p...
