The Dodd-Greider Integral Equations for One-Electron Charge Exchange between Hydrogen-Like Atoms and Bare Nuclei

Abstract

On the basis of the Dodd–Greider integral equations with Coulomb interactions, we have reviewed the theory of one-electron capture in collisions of hydrogen-like atoms and positively charged ions with account taken for electron re-scattering effects. It is shown that without accounting for the effects of the Coulomb re-scattering of the captured electron, it is not possible to reproduce the Thomas peak in the angular distribution of the reaction products. This theory can be applied to study the influence of Coulomb interactions in the final state on angular and energy distributions of the products of a charge-transfer reactions at intermediate collision energies.
