Electron Capture by Protons passing through Hydrogen

摘要: A variational method is applied to the problem of electron capture by protons from ground state hydrogen atoms. The treated as a simplified one-body problem, viz. that an in Coulomb field two protons, proton-proton interaction being neglected. numerical results our theoretical calculations at low incident proton energies are good agreement with recent experimental findings Fite, Brackmann and Snow. At agree closely those Dalgarno Yadav, though methods approach different. Further, may, suitable approximations, be easily reduced Brinkman Kramers or Bates Jackson Schiff.
