Ro-vibrational relaxation of HCN in collisions with He: Rigid bender treatment of the bending-rotation interaction

We present a new theoretical method to treat atom-rigid bender inelastic collisions at the Close Coupling level (RBCC) in the space fixed frame. The coupling between rotation and bending is treated exactly within the rigid bender approximation and we obtain the cross section for the rotational transition between levels belonging to different bending levels. The results of this approach are compared with those obtained when using the rigid bender averaged approximation (RBAA) introduced in our previous work dedicated to this system. We discuss the validity of this approximation and of the previous studies based on rigid linear HCN.
