Reliable collision data are needed, for example, as input for programs to simulate energy transport in plasmas or the calculation of stellar opacities.
The reason for the problems in the numerical simulation of the collision dynamics lies in the quantum-mechanical nature of this so-called "three-body Coulomb problem", in which three particles, two electrons and a proton, interact with each other through the long-range Coulomb force. A reliable calculation of the ionization process, in particular, tus out to be very difficult.
