Electron capture inN2+-He andN2+-Ne collisions

Abstract
The kinetic-energy change in electron-capture collisions between N2+ and He or Ne in the collision energy range 0.2-2.4 keV has been observed with sufficient resolution to separate all possible final states. These processes were modeled in terms of both a curve-crossing and a noncrossing mechanism. The results suggest that the observed transitions occur at an intermediate internuclear separation, (3.58)a0, and that the noncrossing mechanism is important when an appropriate crossing does not occur within this range.
