Calculation of cross sections for electron capture by fast Li/sup 3 +/ ions from atomic hydrogen in the continuum distorted-wave approximation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
A method for the calculation of cross sections for electron capture into arbitrary n, l, and m states of fast bare projectiles in collisions with fully stripped ions and ground-state hydrogenic targets has been proposed in the framework of the continuum distorted-wave approximation. The charge-exchange amplitude has been reduced to a one-dimensional integral in real space which is very convenient for numerical evaluation. The present method is applied Li/sup 3 +/-H(1s) collisions and the calculated cross sections are in excellent agreement with the experimental data for the incident energies E> or =700 keV.
