cross sections and rates in H2-H2 and H2-HD collisions” PHYS #151:
Abstract: Cross sections and rate coefficients are computed for rotational transitions in molecule-molecule H2-H2 and H2-
HD collisions of astrophysical interest. The two most recently developed potential energy surfaces for the H2-H2 system
are used (P. Diep and J.K. Johnson, Journ. Chem. Phys., 112, 4465 (2000); 113, 3480 (2000) and A.I. Boothroyd et al.,
Journ. Chem. Phys., 116, 666 (2002)). Results for the cross sections and corresponding rate coefficients are compared
for a wide range of kinetic temperatures: 30 K  T  4000 K. The scattering cross sections and their corresponding
rate coefficients are calculated using a non reactive quantum-mechanical close-coupling approach. A parallel computing
technique with use of the LAM/MPI library is applied to reduce computation time. The scaling results of the parallel
computing will be also presented.
