Abstract

The electron capture to continuum states of neutral projectiles in atomic collisions is investigated. It is shown that a forward peak exists in the ionisation spectrum, which can be significantly sharp, even narrower than that observed for charged projectiles. This effect is attributed to a low-lying virtual state in the electron-projectile system. Experimental observations are explained on the basis of this theory.
