F. Fraija et al., AB-INITIO MOLECULAR TREATMENT OF ELECTRON-CAPTURE PROCESSES IN THE B(3+)+HE COLLISION, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 29(3), 1994, pp. 179-182
The potential energy curves and the coupling matrix elements of the 1S
IGMA+ and 1PI states involved in the collision of the B3+ (1s2) multic
harged ion on a He target have been calculated by means of an ab initi
o method with configuration interaction. The total and partial capture
cross-sections have been determined, using a semiclassical method. Th
e results are in good agreement with experiment, exhibiting a strong i
nfluence of rotational coupling even at low energies.
