Electron capture fromHe(1s2)by protons. III

Abstract
The prior (i), post (f), and distorted wave (dw) forms of the first Born approximation, and a one-parameter approximate helium wave function, are used to calculate cross sections for electron capture from He(1s2) by protons. These cross sections are calculated for capture into H(3lm), l=1, 2; 1m1, for impact energies, 10E1000 keV, leaving the residual ion He+(1s). The associated polarizations P are calculated for the axis of quantization of H parallel to the direction of incidence, and the apparent cross sections QA=3Q(3P)1 are obtained from P and the calculated cross sections Q=Σm=llQm. The Q used to determine QA are Q(dw) and the arithmetic average of Q(i) and Q(f). Of these two sets, QA(dw) predicts the measured QA(3p) more successfully for E<250 keV, and the measured QA(3d) better for E<200 keV. For larger values of E both sets predict the measured values equally well. In the range 15E60 keV, the effect of P(dw) is more marked for capture into H(3p) than into H(3d).
