Collisions of O+ with He at low energies

POSTER

Abstract

We have investigated the following charge transfer process$O^+({ }^4S^0,{ }^2D^0,{ }^2P^0)+He\to O({ }^3P)+He^+-\Delta E$ using the full quantum [1] and semi-classical molecular [2]orbital close-coupling (MOCC) approximations. The quantum MOCC equations are solved numerically in the adiabatic representation [3]. Using MRD-CI package [4] the \textit{ab initio} configuration interaction calculation is carried out for potential energies. Details of our findings will be reported in the conference. [1] B. H.
