Charge-exchange processes in collisions between protons and rare gases. II. H++Kr and lighter systems

For pt.I see ibid., vol.9, p.2073 (1976). Differential measurements on charge-processes in H++Kr, Ar collisions have been performed using a time-of-flight technique. Oscillating cross sections for the well resolved H+Kr+(4p5 2P12/) and H+Kr+(4p5 2P32/) processes are observed in the angular (0.2<or= theta <or= 3 deg) and energy (100<or=E<or=350 eV) ranges covered by experiments. A theoretical investigation of the near-resonant charge-transfer processes, based on a previous molecular study of the H+-Kr collisional system, is presented. The calculations involving the diabatic 'projected valence-bond' basis are found to agree satisfactorily with experiment.
