Abstract
A path integral approach has been generalized for thenon-relativistic electron charge transfer processes. The chargetransfer - the capture of an electron by an ion passing anotheratom, or more generally the problem of rearrangement collisions - is formulated in terms of influence functionals. It has beenshown that the electron charge transfer process can be treatedeither as an electron transition problem or as ion and atom elastic scattering in the effective potential field. Thefirst-order Born approximation for the electroncharge transfer reaction cross section has been reproduced to prove theadequacy of the path integral approach for this problem.
