Calculation of total cross sections for electron capture in collisions of Carbon ions with H(D,T)(1s)

Abstract

The calculations of total cross sections of electron capture in collisions of Cq+ with H(1s) are reviewed. At low collision energies, new calculations have been performed, using molecular expansions, to analyze isotope effects. The Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo method have been also applied to discuss the accuracy of previous calculations and to extend the energy range of the available cross sections.
