Abstract

Rotational cross sections for transitions in the H₂H₂ system have been calculated for energies up to ≈ 2.0 eV and for rotor levels up to j = 11 in the effective potential approximation. The cases of para H₂-para H₂, ortho H₂-ortho H₂ and ortho H₂-para H₂ are considered. Correlations and trends in the cross sections have been examined, and it is shown that the high-energy collisions are dominated by coupling effects. The results of this analysis also suggest that the collision process may be profitably viewed as a diffusion of probability among the levels.
