POLARIZATION AND FORWARD SCATTERING EFFECTS IN LOW-ENERGY POSITRON INTERACTIONS WITH H₂
;
molecular hydrogen, positron, elastic scattering, polarization.Abstrak
Positron physical-chemistry has been a significant area of scientific investigation in recent decades. However, low-energy positron scattering by atoms and molecules still presents several open questions, particularly regarding the effects of low-angle scattering on measured cross sections and the role of target polarization in the comparison between theoretical and experimental results. In this study, we examine low-energy positron collisions with H₂ molecules, focusing on the convergence of the polarization contribution in the scattering potential.
