Abstract
Due to the extremely large de Broglie wavelength of cold molecules, cold inelastic scattering is always characterized by the time-independent close-coupling (TICC) method. However, the TICC method is difficult to apply to collisions of large molecular systems. Here, we present a new strategy for characterizing cold inelastic scattering using wave packet (WP) method. In order to deal with the long de Broglie wavelength of cold molecules, the total wave function is divided into interaction, asymptotic and long-range regions (IALR). The three regions use different numbers of ro-vibrational basis functions, especially the long-range region, which uses only one function corresponding to the initial ro-vibrational state. Thus, a very large grid range can be used to characterize long de Broglie wavelengths in scattering coordinates. Due to its better numerical scaling law, the IALR-WP method has great potential in studying the inelastic scatterings of larger collision systems at cold and ultracold regimes.
