Electron Capture into Different (n, l) States in Slow Collisions of C6+, N6+, O6+, and Ne6+ Projectiles on He and H2 Targets

Abstract
Absolute cross sections for electron capture into different nl states for C6+, N6+, O6+, Ne6+-He and N6+, O6+-H2 collisions in the 0.15-0.5 a.u. velocity range have been measured. These cross sections strongly depend on the collision velocity, in contrast with the total capture cross sections and the cross sections for capture into different n states. Similarities in σnl(v) dependences for different ions with the same ionic charge are found which are attributed to the hydrogenlike structure of the energy levels of these ions.
