Bg. Lindsay et al., ABSOLUTE DIFFERENTIAL AND INTEGRAL CROSS-SECTIONS FOR CHARGE-TRANSFEROF KEV O-2( WITH N), Physical review. A, 57(1), 1998, pp. 331-337
We report measurements of the absolute differential cross sections for
charge transfer scattering of 0.5-, 0.85-, 1.5-, 2.8-, and 5-keV Of b
y N-2 at scattering angles between 0.04 degrees and 3.1 degrees in the
laboratory frame. Cross sections for both O+(S-4) ground-state and O(D-2, P-2) metastable projectiles are presented. The groundstate cross
section is much smaller than that for the metastable state and the in
fluence of the electronic state of the projectile on the angular distr
ibution of the scattered neutrals is also very significant. The estima
ted total cross sections are compared with previous measurements. [S20
