Galilean invariant cross sections were calculated for one-electron capture in collisions of B[sup 3+] with He at velocities between 0.063 and 0.63 a.u. The collision was described within the framework of the perturbed stationary-state approach with the potential-energy curves and nonadiabatic couplings computed with highly correlated configuration-interaction wave functions. A procedure was also proposed to incorporate Galilean invariance without the explicit calculation of translation factors and a method developed to solve the coupling integrals. Cross-section results are in good agreement with existing experimental and theoretical data.
