Abstract

We have calculated final n, l, m-distributions for the electron capture in Na+ + Na(28d) collisions and N5+, Ar8+ + Cs(6s) collisions using a three-body classical trajectory Monte-Carlo (CTMC) method. The collision velocity range is 0.5 ≲ x ≲ 1.7. Here, x = vp/ve, where vp is the ion projectile velocity in the laboratory frame and ve is the initial orbital velocity of the electron bound to the alkali-metal core. The results are discussed along with experimental data.
