Calculation of total excitation cross section in the collision of bare ions with atomic hydrogen for transition from ground to and states using Born-Faddeev approximation

Abstract

In this work, total excitation cross section of atomic hydrogen in the collision of bare ion was calculated employing a three body Faddeev formalism. In the present calculation, initially the first order electronic amplitude was calculated using the interaction potential which led to inelastic form factor. Secondly, the first order nuclear amplitude was calculated and added to the first order electronic amplitude. This second term was calculated employing the near-the-shell two body transition operator. The interaction energy was assumed to be in the intermediate and high energy limits . Finally, the results were compared with the relevant cross sections calculated under monocentric close-coupling data in the literature.
