Numerical study of charge transfer processes in collisions of Be$^{4+}$ and He$^{2+}$ with atomic hydrogen
POSTER
Abstract
We have calculated state-selective charge-transfer cross sections in collisions of Be$^(4+}$ with H(1s) and of He$^{2+}$ with H(1s). We have used the lattice time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation (LTDSE) approach, the atomic orbital coupled channel (AOCC) method, and the classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) method. The calculations are performed with impact energy ranging between 1keV/u and 1MeV/u. With a well chosen basis-function set, we have found that AOCC gives good agreement with LTDSE. Also, with regard to Wigner's $n^{-3}$ law, we have found that CTMC gives good extrapolations to the cross sections calculated by LTDSE and AOCC toward high $n$ levels such as for those greater than 6. Thus, in our presentation, we will propose theoretical values of the total charge-transfer cross sections for these collision systems based on a combination of the most reliable results of the various method.
