This paper shows the extensions of the authors' previous work on absolute cross sections for electron capture into He+ (4l) states, produced in collisions of He2+ with atomic and molecular hydrogen, to higher impact energies (27-132 keV amu-1) than used before (2-13 keV amu-1). The cross sections have been deduced from photon emission profile measurements along the ion beam axis, detecting the He II(n=4 to n=3) radiation at a wavelength of 4686 AA. The results for collisions with atomic hydrogen generally show reasonable agreement with the atomic orbital calculations of Fritsch (1989) below 50 keV amu-1 and at the highest impact energies used (E>or=100 keV amu-1) approach the data of the distorted wave approximation by Belkic et al. (1990).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
