Abstract
A theoretical study of hydrogen production in collisions between proto ns and hydrogen-like beryllium ions Be3+ is reported, for a proton imp act energy range between 100 keV and 3 MeV. Cross sections are obtaine d in close-coupled atomic-orbital calculations within the semiclassica l impact parameter method. The presented results are relevant to desig n and interpretation of current experiments at JET where a substantial flux of neutral hydrogen is observed to be generated at the centre of the tokamak plasma.
