Abstract

The probabilities and the effective cross sections of collision-induced one-electron charge exchange between singly charged and four-charged heavy Xe, Cs, Ba, Pb, Bi, and U ions at energies E>0.1 keV/u are calculated by a method of multichannel normalization in the impact parameter representation. The cross sections are rather large with a maximum σm≈10−15 cm2 at relative energies E m ≈10–30 keV/u. For collision energies E 1 MeV/u, the charge exchange proceeds largely by the capture of inner shell electrons of the ionic targets. The charge exchange cross sections calculated for low-charged Xe, Cs, Ba, Pb, Bi, and U ions are compared with available theoretical and experimental data.
