Abstract
The vibrational state distributions of fast N2, CO, O2 and NO molecules produced by (symmetric) charge transfer reactions involving 0.004 to 2.2 keV incident ions have been determined via a multistate impact-parameter treatment which closely couples many vibrational channels. The product N2 and CO molecules are primarily formed in the ground vibrational level at all impact energies, while the O2 and NO products occupy a range of vibrational levels with these distributions broadening as the kinetic energy of the incident ion is increased.Keywords
