Abstract

The present understanding of charge exchange at relativistic velocities is briefly reviewed. Special attention is given to the recently developed relativistic eikonal theory which has been applied to transitions from K, L, and M shells of the target to nearly all projectile shells. Calculated results are compared to recently measured data. As a qualitatively new effect, magnetic capture is investigated for 1s-1s transitions. The structure of a relativistic first-order capture amplitude satisfying Coulomb boundary conditions is given.
