Título:	On the role of molecular polarizability in positron coupling to vibrations in homonuclear diatomics
Autor(es):	Luis Argel Poveda Calviño José Rachid Mohallem
Resumen:	In a previous work [Poveda, Varella, and Mohallem (Poveda et al., Atoms, 2021, 9: 64) it was shown that the bell-like shape of the 0 → 1 vibrational excitation cross section of H2 as a function of the incoming positron energy, with its characteristic sharp onset at threshold, can be accounted for by a simple model which couples the positron to the vibrational mode of the molecule, throught the behavior of the target polarizabitity with the internuclear bond distance. The study, carried out via time-dependent wave-packet dynamics propagation, relies on a two-dimensional potential energy surface involving just the scattering (positron-target) and vibrational (target) coordinates. Here the model is extended to the full three-dimensional configuration space of the positron-diatomic complex, with the cross sections computed within a time-independent close-coupling approach. The present results confirm the previous findings, shedding light on the mechanisms through which a low-energy positron couples to the molecular vibrations.
