Abstract

We study theoretically K shell-K shell single electron capture in ion-ion collisions at relativistic impact energies in reactions involving highly charged ions. We obtain differential and total cross sections for the charge transfer reaction U 92+ + U 91+ with and without spin-flip of the captured electron by using two different distorted wave models: the Matrix Continuum Intermediate State and the Matrix Continuum Distorted Wave. We analyse the influence of the double dispersion mechanisms on the cross sections. We also study the contributions to cross sections coming from collisions at different impact parameters. At small impact parameters the reduced transition probabilities are dominated by spin-flip reactions.
