Abstract
Proton water collisions at 46 eV in the center of mass frame are studied within the electron nuclear dynamics theory (END). The electronic degrees of freedom are described with a coherent state formulation of determinantal wavefunctions. The nuclei are treated as classical particles but full nonadiabatic couplings are retained. The equations of motion are formulated in a generalized phase space and bypass the use of preconstructed potential energy surfaces. Differential cross sections for inelastic and electron transfer reactions as well as energy transfer are compared with experiment.
