Electron capture form elliptical Rydberg states
- Univ. of Missouri, Rolla, MO (United States)
Recent experiments involving electron capture from elliptical Rydberg states have shown a strong correlation between the total cross sections and the eccentricity of the Rydberg state and the orientation of the electron orbit with respect to the incoming charged particle. In this study, the authors have used the classical trajectory Monte Carlo method to study collisions of H{sup +} on H(n = 4). The total cross sections are evaluated as a function of the eccentricity and the angle between the incoming ion and the plane of the electron`s orbit. These cross sections are calculated for reduced velocities of v/n = 1.0 to 2.0. The results are compared to the cross sections obtained using closed coupling calculations. In addition, the product n-state distributions are calculated and compared to existing values.
