Abstract

The low-energy (Bethe–Wigner–Shapiro) behaviour of the rate coefficient for capture of a polarisable quadrupolar rotationally excited diatom by an ion is calculated. The multichannel character of capture shows itself in the dependence of the effective attractive potential on the intrinsic angular momentum of the diatom and in a nonadiabatic diagonal correction to the potential. The predicted energy dependence of the rate coefficients is compared with previous numerically accurate results for the capture of H2 molecules by H2+ ions.
