Ionization and Charge Exchange Cross Sections of Hydrogen Molecule by Proton and Antiproton Impact

Abstract

This thesis presents a thorough and well-structured investigation of ionization and charge-exchange cross sections of molecular hydrogen under proton and antiproton impact. It provides clear explanations of the underlying collision physics and makes effective use of the Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) method to simulate complex interactions. The comparison with theoretical models and experimental data is handled carefully and demonstrates strong analytical understanding. The results are presented in an organized and visually clear manner, making the trends easy to follow. Overall, the thesis shows solid scientific reasoning, meaningful conclusions, and contributes valuable insight to the study of charged-particle collisions.
