Phys. Rev. A 71, 062704 (2005) [9 pages]Ionization of hydrogen molecular ions by antiproton impactsReceived 26 January 2005; published 15 June 2005 Ionization cross sections in collisions of antiprotons (p̅ ) with H2+ molecules are calculated for incident energies in the range of 2–500 keV by using a semiclassical impact-parameter method. The electronic motion is solved in a numerically accurate manner by means of a discrete variable representation. A sudden approximation is applied to the description of the molecular rotation and vibration. The present p̅ +H2+ ionization cross sections are compared with the theoretical results of the ionization in p̅ +He+ and the experimental results of the production of H+ ions in p̅ +H2. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
