Calculations of Electron Capture Cross-Sections of Mg Atoms due to Proton, 3 He+ and 3He2+ Ions Impact

Abstract

Proton, 3 He+ and 3 He2+ ions impact Electron Capture Cross sections for Mg atoms have been calculated in the Modified Binary Encounter Approximation. The Hartree Fock Velocity distribution for the target electrons has been used throughout the calculations. The effect of angular divergence as correction factor has also been taken into account. The present calculations show fairly good agreement with the experimental observations
