Astrophysical CX Plasmas SWCX in comets geocoronal & heliospheric space Polar region of Jupiter North Polar Spur Wolf-Rayet stellar winds Supernova shock rims Starburst galaxies Cool core clusters
CXModel in SPEX Assumptions Single electron capture with atomic hydrogen target (corrected for helium) Method Take all available cross section data σ(v, n, l, s) from literatures & databases Challenge: incompleteness esp. for n, l-population Derive the “scaling-law” v-dependent n and l distributions, apply to the missingions
Method: n - distribution Resonance peak Velocity-dependent scaling law
Method: l - distribution n < np n > np Rotation of internuclear axis determines lpeak l population evolves with v, n A new v, n(q)- dependent scheme + five basic weighting function
S- Distribution G-ratio Triplet-to-Singlet Ratio (C5+ with H) Black: s-resolved Red: statistical weight Nolte+2012 Velocity (km/s) Higher order processes (e.g., electron-electron interaction) Calculated in very few cases Significantly affect the G-ratio at ~500 km/s
Method: Radiative Relaxation Bodewits (2007) Highly excited p state to ground state transition (e.g., strong He-δ line) No up-excitation: 23S1-23P0,1,2 > 11S0-23P1,2 (forbidden line) CXmodel:lines fromradiative cascadeupton=16
