Abstract

Cross sections for the nonresonant charge transfer process D++H(1s)D(1s)+H+ at low energies are calculated in hyperspherical coordinates. The method is free from all the inherent ambiguities associated with the conventional Born-Oppenheimer approach, such as the incorrect asymptotic energies and spurious couplings. However, like the Born-Oppenheimer approach, we show that hyperspherical potential curves and coupling terms have to be calculated only once to obtain results for all partial waves. Feshbach and shape resonances of HD+ near the H(1s) threshold are also calculated.
