Charge Transfer at Large Scattering Angles in Asymmetric Ion-Atom Collisions

Abstract

A general formula for the dependence of the electron capture probability on scattering angle in fast collisions is derived using the semiclassical zero impact parameter approximation. We apply the impulse approximation (SCIA) to perform numerical calculations of the capture probability from the K and L shell of Ne and Ar targets by protons and give a comparison with recent experiments.
