Low-energy positron-hydrogen scattering. Quarterly report No. 16 (Final), 1 July 1981-30 September 1987

OSTI ID:6761618
A new mechanism is proposed for atomic recombination in plasmas, whereby the binding energy is carried away by a plasmon. It is suggested that this mechanism may compete with radiative and three-body modes in the case of recombination to sufficiently highly-excited and perturbed states of hydrogen. A procedure for calculation of the transition rate is outlined in a model which treats the plasma oscillations by the Bohm-Pines canonical transformation and the atomic bound states by a second canonical transformation.
