Total and partial cross sections for electron capture in collisions of hydrogen atoms with fully stripped ions

Systematic investigations of charge-transfer reactions H(1s)+AZ+→H⁺+A^(Z-1)+(n,l) (AZ+ being a fully stripped ion) within the multichannel Landau-Zener theory with rotational coupling included (MLZRC) are presented. Total cross-section (σ) calculations in the energy region 0.03-80 keV/amu for selected projectiles with charges 5≤Z≤74 are performed. Oscillations in the Z dependence of σ are observed at low collision energies in the low-Z region. Above this region the Z dependence of σ is linear. The n,l distributions of captured electrons are investigated and results for the partial cross sections σₙ for a number of reactions are presented. The maxima of n distributions appear at nₘ≈Z3/4 (in accordance with other theoretical predictions) and have a weak velocity dependence. Validity and limitations of the MLZRC model and the obtained results are discussed.
