Abstract

Cross sections for electron transfer in collisions of atomic hydrogen with fully stripped carbon ions are studied for impact energies from 0.1 to 500 keV/u. A semi-classical close-coupling approach is used within the impact parameter approximation. To solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation the electronic wave function is expanded on a two-center atomic state basis set. The projectile states are modified by translational factors to take into account the relative motion of the two centers. For the processes C6++H(ls) → C5+ (nlm) + H+, we present shell-selective electron transfer cross sections, based on computations performed with an expansion spanning all states of C5+(n=1−6) shells and the H(1s) state.
