Abstract

Cross sections for the j 1 m 1 → j 2 m 2 transitions in the resonance 4p 2P and metastable 3d 2D states of the singly charged calcium ion induced by collisions with the ground-state He atom have been calculated using the quantal close-coupling method. The calculations are based on the earlier obtained Ca+-He pseudopotential SCF potential energy curves. The calculated cross sections are discussed in the energy range from threshold to 1.5 eV. Satisfactory agreement with other theoretical results has been found for the 4p 2P state. However, relatively large discrepancy between theory and available experimental data still exists for both the Ca+ states.
