Abstract
The significance of Coriolis coupling in charge-transfer reactions during collisions of highly charged ions with atoms is studied under conditions where electron correlation effects may be ignored. Reaction amplitudes are expressed in closed form in the case of full Coriolis mixing and parametrized in simple terms when partial mixing is considered. It is shown that Coriolis mixing only plays a minor role in the diabatic wing of the reaction window, i.e. for capture into states with fairly small energy defects. The form of the reaction window is, on the other hand, strongly influenced by rotational coupling in the adiabatic wing corresponding to capture into more deeply lying final states.
