A+B ==> AB

The objective of this case is to simulate the reaction:
A +B ==>AB

To show that no reaction can occur. You shoot the atoms together and watch what happens.

The A-B potential is assumed to be a morse potential with a well depth of 10 kcal/mole and a range parameter of 1.5 angstroms. The incident energy is fixed at 0.5 kcal/mole. When I teach my course, I use this example to show that if you just shoot two atoms together then can never react.
