Abstract
We apply the two-centre wave-packet convergent close-coupling approach to calculate integrated total and state-selective cross sections for electron capture and ionisation in bare beryllium ion collisions with atomic hydrogen. This is done in the energy region between 1 keV/u to 1 MeV/u. Good agreement was achieved in comparison to previous theoretical works for the total electron capture cross section across all energies, however the total ionisation cross section shows disagreement with preceding calculations. We present accurate n and l-resolved (n and l are the principal and the angular momentum quantum numbers of the final state in electron capture processes, respectively) cross sections required for plasma impurity diagnostics where there have been discrepancies between different approaches for n > 5. Otherwise, excellent agreement between our results and previous calculations of state-selective cross sections for electron-capture is observed for a wide number of different n. The calculations have been performed on a fine energy mesh to identify oscillatory structures in the n- and nl-resolved capture cross sections in the low-energy region. Our results show pronounced oscillations in the cross sections for n > 5 below 20 keV/u.Funding Information
