Calculation of Ionization, Excitation and Electron Capture Cross Sections for Be4+ + H(2s,2p) Collisions.

Abstract

A computational study of Be4+ + H(2s,2p) collisions has been carried out employing the Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) method for the impact energy range from 20 keV/u to 1000 keV/u. The integral n partial cross sections for H(n) excitation and Be3+(n) electron capture and, the total ionization and electron capture cross sections are calculated and compared to recent semiclassical results. A general good agreement is observed for the n partial and total electron capture and ionization cross sections. The comparative study of the three inelastic processes show no significant differences between both excited targets.
