Molecular Treatment of Charge Exchange in Slow C3++ H Collisions

Electron capture cross sections in C 3+ + H collisions are calculated for the relative velocity range v = 0.1-0.5 a.u. ( E = 0.25-6.25 keV amu -1 ), in a molecular approach based on an effective two-electron model modified with a common translation factor, and are compared to experimental data and to the one-electron, triplet state calculations of Opradolce et al.
