Self-Consistent Field Equations for H2 and H3 e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is of interest to know this interaction potential of three hydrogen atoms as precisely as possible, because it is in effect basic to all calculations of the cross-sections of processes involving the transfer of translational and vibrational energy normal chemical reactions); it is important also in understanding the transfer of translational and rotational energy, although this second aspect is not to be developed here. Accordingly, it seems that it would be worth while making a self consistent field calculation to find the ground-state energy for three electrons moving about three protons A, B, C, which are taken to be in a straight line. This is a major computational problem which would require a high-speed computing machine.
