| contents | Electron emission from hydrogen atoms induced by antiproton impact at intermediate energies is investigated using the one-centre Basis Generator Method within a semi-classical impact-parameter framework. The formulation employs a single-centre expansion of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation with a pseudostate basis consisting of hydrogenic orbitals acted upon by powers of a Yukawa-regularized potential, providing a compact and effective representation of the electronic continuum. Ionization probabilities are obtained by projecting the time-evolved wavefunction onto Coulomb continuum states, from which energy-differential cross sections (EDCS) are extracted. Exponential piecewise functions are constructed to interpolate between the pseudostate eigenenergies, yielding smooth EDCS profiles for each partial wave. The total EDCS, reconstructed by summing over all partial-wave contributions, exhibits good agreement with results from other pseudostate-based approaches. |
