Quantum simulation of collinear p+H collisions in an intense laser field -art. no. 023407

The p + H collision in the presence of an intense laser field is studied by numerically solving the time-dependent one-dimensional Schrodinger equatio ns. It is found that due to the enhanced ionization at the critical internu clear distance, the colliding particles can gain energy from the applied la ser field. Also, the influences of the space distributions of the electroni c and nuclear wave packets on the enhanced ionizations are discussed.
