The electron capture reaction from hydrogenic targets by heavy bare ions is
studied. From well known models, such as the Continuum Distorted Wave and
the Boundary Born Series, we develop a new approximation within the distort
ed wave formalism. In the entry channel the initial distorted wave function
is chosen as in the first order of the Boundary Born Series whereas in the
exit channel, the final distorted wavefunction is taken as in the CDW mode
l. Single differential and total cross sections are evaluated and compared
with other theories as well as with experimental data.
