Title:


Charge exchange between multicharged ions of C, N, and O and molecular hydrogen

Abstract:


Cross sections for single- and double-electron capture have been measured for incident ions of C, N, and O with initial charges + 3 to + 6 colliding with molecular hydrogen at velocities between 0.3 x 10^{8} and 1.2 x 10^{8} cm/sec. The single-electron-capture cross sections for a particular incident charge are nearly constant with changing velocity. The single-capture cross sections range from about 7 x 10^{-16) cm^{2} for + 3 incident ions to 40 x 10^{-16) cm^{2} for + 6 incident ions. Double-electron-capture cross sections are roughly one order of magnitude smaller. The data are qualitatively interpreted on the basis of the molecular potential-curve model for slow collisions.
