Abstract

h $-abstract-$\backslash $pard Collisions of multiply charged ions with molecules are very common in astrophysical plasmas[1]. The ion-molecule calculations are rather more complicated than their atomic counter part. For multi charged ions in X-ray ionized astronomical environments the charge exchange provides a recombination mechanism. To understand this detailed information on the collision cross sections is essential. In highly charged ion-molecule problem the Coulomb term plays an important role; using a pseudo-diatomic technique the colliding system can be approximated by a model potential for the ionic core of H$_{\mathrm{2}}$ with encouraging results [2-5]. Freezing the target, H$_{\mathrm{2}}$ can easily be treated as an atom with appropriate ionization potential (Ip). Our results show good agreement with available experimental findings.$\backslash $pard[1] B. C. Saha, Atomic Structure and Collision process, Narosa Pub. House (2011).2] B. C.
