Charge Transfer in C6+ Collisions with H and He
Abstract
Charge transfer cross sections are calculated for C6+ + H and C6+ + He collisions using a time-dependent close-coupling method in Cartesian coordinates. Capture cross sections into the 1 s , 2 l(l = 0 - 1) , 3 l(l = 0 - 2) , and 4 l(l = 0 - 3) subshells of C5+ are found for projectile energies ranging from 5.0 keV/amu to 15.0 keV/amu. Comparisons are made with previous calculations and recent experiments. The atomic collision data will be used to better understand the interaction of solar wind ions with interplanetary atoms.
