Description
Inelastic processes in low-energy Ca+H and Ca^+^+H^-^ collisions are treated for the states from the ground state up to the ionic state, in order to provide rate coefficients needed for non-LTE modeling of Ca in cool stellar atmospheres. Electronic molecular structure was determined using a recently proposed model approach based on an asymptotic method. Nonadiabatic nuclear dynamics are treated by means of multichannel formulas, based on the Landau-Zener model for nonadiabatic transition probabilities.
