Excitation and charge transfer in He++H collisions

A molecular approach including a two-electron translation factor determined by the norm method

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters

Abstract

For the conflictive case of He++H collisions, we present a norm-method optimization of the parameters included in the (often used) two-electron translation factor of Errea et al. As surmised in a previous publication, a strong cut-off is needed at short internuclear distances to prevent the translation factor from marring the properities of the molecular expansion there. With a basis of 16 molecular states, we present the first calculations including translation factors, of total and partial charge exchange and excitation cross sections in He++H collisions, as well as the alignment parameter A20 for hydrogen excitation. Good agreement with experiment is reached up to the energy range where ionization and charge exchange cross sections are comparable.
