Semiclassical resonances for matrix Schrödinger operators with vanishing interactions at crossings of classical trajectories

We study the semiclassical distribution of resonances of a $2\times 2$ matrix Schrödinger operator, obtained as a reduction of an Hamiltonian when studying molecular predissociation models under the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The energy considered is above the energy-level crossing of the two associated classical trajectories, and is respectively trapping and non-trapping for those trajectories. Under a condition between the contact order $m$ of the crossings and the vanishing order $k$ of the interaction term at the crossing points, we show that, asymptotically in the semiclassical limit $h\to 0^{+}$, the imaginary part of the resonances is of size $h^{1+2(k+1)\mathrm{/}(m+1)}$ in the general case and shrinks to $h^{1+2(k+2)\mathrm{/}(m+1)}$ when both $k$ and $m$ are odd. We also compute the first term of the associated asymptotic expansions.
