Charge transfer and charge transfer with excitation of a target ion in slow collisions of α particles with helium atoms. II

Abstract

The cross sections of single- and double-electron capture in 3He2+-He collisions in the energy interval of incident α particles of 3–120 keV were obtained. The cross sections were calculated for the Coulomb trajectory of motion of nuclei in the context of the close-coupling equation method using the basis set of two-electron adiabatic molecular states. Introduction of additional requirements that must be satisfied by the numerical solutions of the system of coupled differential equations made it possible to obtain a good correspondence between the calculated values of total cross sections of single- and double-electron capture and the experimental data in the whole range of the considered collision energies.
