Abstract

The total, state-selective, and angular-differential cross sections for He2++H collision system in warm dense plasmas are studied by using the two-center atomic orbital close-coupling method in the energy range 0.1–300 keV/u. The calculations are performed for plasma density and temperature ranges ne ∼1018 to ∼1021 cm−3, Te = 0.3 eV–1.2 eV, typical for the H- and He-rich white dwarfs. The plasma environments are described by a unified screened potential involving electron degeneracy, finite-temperature gradient, and exchange-correlation effects. The results for H++H cases with the same plasma parameters are also presented for comparison to elucidate the discrepancies of plasma screening effects on the electron capture dynamics for collision systems with different nuclear symmetries. Moreover, classical Debye screening results are also given for comparison to clarify the effects of quantum correlations in warm dense plasmas on the electron capture dynamics. The present work is expected to provide theoretical and data support for the astrophysical plasmas.
