“…SLEND has accurately reproduced a large array of experimental properties (scattering patterns, energy transfers, non-charge-transfer, and charge-transfer cross sections, etc.) of various protonatom and -molecule reactions including H + +H [45], He [45], H 2 [28,29,45], CH 4 [46], H 2 O [47], C 2 H 2 [30,48], HF [31], CF 4 [32], N 2 [33], CO [34], NO [35], (H 2 O) 2−6 [4,21,22,49], DNA bases [4,22,25] and other molecular systems [50]. The success of SLEND in simulating those systems can be attributed to two distinctive features: (i) its on-the-fly dynamics nature that makes possible its application to diverse systems without the cumbersome predetermination of complete PESs, and (ii) its versatility that permits the description of the different types of chemical processes occurring simultaneously in the above systems (e.g.…”

The H + +CO 2 reaction at high energies is relevant in atmospheric chemistry, astrophysics, and proton cancer therapy research. Therefore, we present herein a complete investigation of H + +CO 2 at E Lab =30 eV with the simplest-level electron nuclear dynamics (SLEND) method. SLEND describes nuclei via classical mechanics and electrons with a singledeterminantal Thouless wavefunction. The 3402 SLEND conducted simulations from 42 independent CO 2 target orientations provide a full description of all the reactive processes and their mechanisms in this system: non-charge-transfer scattering (NCTS), charge-transfer scattering (CTS), and single C=O bond dissociation; all this valuable information about reactivity is not accessible experimentally. Numerous details of the projectile scattering patterns are provided, including the appearance and coalescence of primary and secondary rainbow angles as a function of the target orientation. SLEND NCTS and CTS differential cross sections (DCSs) are evaluated in conjunction with advanced semi-classical techniques. SLEND NCTS DCS agrees well with its experimental counterpart at all the measured scattering angles, whereas SLEND CTS DCS agrees well at high scattering angles but less satisfactorily at lower ones. Remarkably, both NCTS and CTS SLEND DCSs predict the primary rainbow angle signatures in agreement with the experiment.

With the simplest‐level electron nuclear dynamics (SLEND) method, we test standard Slater‐type‐orbital/contracted‐Gaussian‐functions (STO/CGFs) basis sets for the simulation of direct ionizations (DIs), charge transfers (CTs), and target excitations (TEs) in H+ + H at ELab = 0.1–100 keV. SLEND is a time‐dependent, variational, on‐the‐fly, and nonadiabatic method that treats nuclei and electrons with classical dynamics and a Thouless single‐determinantal state, respectively. While previous tests for CTs and TEs exist, this is the first SLEND/STO/CGFs test for challenging DIs. Spin‐orbitals with negative/positive energies are treated as bound/unbound states for bound‐to‐bound (CT and TE) and bound‐to‐unbound (DI) transitions. SLEND/STO/CGFs simulations correctly reproduce all the features of DIs, CTs and TEs over all the considered impact parameters and energies. SLEND/STO/CGFs simulations correctly predict CT integrals cross‐sections (ICSs) over all the considered energies and predict satisfactory DI and TE ICSs within some energy ranges. Strategies to improve SLEND/STO/CGFs for DI predictions are discussed.
