Electron capture into different (n,l) states in slow collisions of C/sup 6 +/, N/sup 6 +/, O/sup 6 +/, and Ne/sup 6 +/ on He and He/sub 2/ targets

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Absolute cross sections for electron capture into different nl states for C/sup 6 +/, N/sup 6 +/, O/sup 6 +/, Ne/sup 6 +/--He and N/sup 6 +/, O/sup 6 +/--H/sub 2/ collisions in the 0.15--0.5 a.u. velocity range have been measured. These cross sections strongly depend on the collision velocity, in contrast with the total capture cross sections and the cross sections for capture into different n states. Similarities in sigma/sub n/l(v) dependences for different ions with the same ionic charge are found which are attributed to the hydrogenlike structure of the energy levels of these ions.
