Abstract
We present newab initio calculations of the interaction potential and the elastic and inelastic cross sections for He scattering by I2. The electronic structure calculations of the interaction potential are based on an extensive one-electron basis set (triple zeta plus ad set on each I, ans function plus ap set at the I2 bond center, and quadruple zeta plus twop sets on He), a two-configuration-SCF orbital set, and a configuration interaction calculation based on all single and double excitations out of the two-configuration reference space. The calculations are performed at 16He-I2 distances for nine combinations of I2 vibrational displacement and orientation. A new form of analytic representation is presented that is particularly well suited to efficient and accurate fitting ofab initio interaction potentials that include vibrational displacements. Scattering calculations are performed by the vibrational close-coupling, rotational-infinite-order-sudden approximation with a converged vibrational basis.

The ODC method was first developed by Das, G. and Wahl, A. C., was reviewed in Adv. Quantum Chem.5, 261 (1970). For the cases (I2 and He-I2) treated in the present paper the ODC method is equivalent to the generalized valence bond (GVB) method [Hunt, W. J., Hay, P. J., Goddard, A.: J. Chem. Phys.57 738 (1972)] and is also sometimes called Hartree-Fock with proper dissociation (HF-PD) [Lie, G. C., Clementi, E.: J. Chem. Phys.60, 1275, 1288 (1974)]
