Abstract
In this joint theoretical and experimental effort, we examine in detail the capture channel in collisions of multiply charged projectiles with light targets. We report new high-resolution photon-spectroscopic results of electron capture of energetic (2–5 MeV) C 4+ ions with H 2 and He, from which we extract specific ( n, l) capture cross sections. The present study extends our previous work and demonstrates anew the superiority of the multiple scattering theories, here that of the continuum distorted wave (CDW) calculations, to describe the capture process. The multiple scattering contributions (absent in the usual first (single scattering) and second (single and double scattering) Born approximation) are shown to be important not only for the absolute magnitudes but also for the relative populations of the final states.
