Atomic and molecular processes contribute to the evolution of the early Universe. We investigate the formation of the LiH molecule via associative detachment pro- cesses of Li with H- and H with Li- within the nonlocal resonant theory at ener- gies up to 1 eV.
The nonlocal resonant models are based on potential energy curves from MRCI calculations and electron-LiH scattering data obtained by the R-matrix method. We discuss the total cross sections and the comparison of both the processes.
