Differential Cross Sections for Charge Transfer in He-Like System (Li^+, Be^(2+), B^(3+), C^(4+), N^(5+), O^(6+))-Hydrogen Atom Collisions

Abstract

Differential cross sections for charge transfer have been calculated for a He-like system (Li^+, Be^(2+), B^(3+), C^(4+), N^(5+), O^(6+)) and hydrogen atom collisions in energies ranging from 0.1 to 100 keV using the classical trajectory Monte Carlo method (CTMC). Interactions of the active electrons with the projectile ions have been described by model potentials. The differential cross sections at angles near the diffraction limit (＜0.1 degree) in all systems show a forward peak followed by an asymptotic fall at higher angles.
