  2. Outline • Background • Theoretical Methods • Results • Summary

  3. Background • Charge exchange: X-rays and/or EUV photons observed in cometary and planetary atmosphere and from the heliosphere; • Oq+, Cq+, Neq+, Mgq+, Siq+, Nq+, Sq+,... • X-ray/EUV: study the solar wind composition and its variation; the interaction of the solar wind with comets and planetary atmosphere; the atmospheres in the Solar System etc. Oq+ + H → O(q-1)+(nl) + H+ O(q-1)+(nl) → O(q-1)+(n’l’) + hν

  4. Theoretical Methods N6+(1s) + H → N5+(1s nl)+ H+ O6+(1s2) + H → O5+(1s2nl) + H+ • MOCC (Molecular orbital close-coupling) • AOCC (Atomic orbital close-coupling) • CTMC (Classical orbital Monte-Carlo)

  5. Molecular orbital close-coupling calculations (MOCC) • Full quantum, molecular orbital close-coupling; • Low energy collision, ≤ a few keV amu-1; • [Aq+ + B] as a quasi-molecule (perturbed stationary-state approximation) ; • The multi-reference single-and double-excitation configuration interaction approach (MRDCI): potentials, radial and rotational couplings.

  6. Results Adiabatic Potential: N6+(1s) + H → N5+(1s nl)+ H+

  7. Radial coupling matrix elements: [NH] 6+

  8. Rotational coupling matrix elements : [NH] 6+

  9. Results Adiabatic Potential: O6+(1s2) + H → O5+(1s2nl) + H+

  10. Radial coupling matrix elements: [OH] 6+

  11. Rotational coupling matrix elements: [OH] 6+

  12. Results Basis set optimization highly charged ion: A hybrid basis set: • The standard Dunning neutral atom basis: inner core electrons; • One-electron basis of hydrogen-like orbitals: highly excited electron. The latter basis was optimized to reproduce nearly exactly the hydrogen-like Rydberg ion energies.

  13. Results Asymptotic energy: [NH]6+ singlet states The largest energy difference less than 0.05 eV!!

  14. Results Asymptotic energy: [OH]6+ The largest energy difference is about 0.03 eV!!

  15. Results Total cross section: N6+(1s) + H → N5+(1s nl)+ H+

  16. Results n-resolved cross section : N6+(1s) + H → N5+(1s nl)+ H+ Agree well for the dominant n=4 channels between MOCC, AOCC, CTMC

  17. Results nl-resolved cross section: N6+(1s) + H → N5+(1s nl)+ H+

  18. Results Total cross section: O6+(1s2) + H → O5+(1s2nl) + H+ 1, Good agreement in the a large energy range ; 2,Strong effect of rotational couplings

  19. Results Similar effect found in C4+/H, Al3+/H, Si2+/H, M Gargaudt, et al, JPB Effect s of rotational couplings: (a) Total cross section; (b) State-selective cross section

  20. Results Compared O6+/H with N6+/H 1, Good agreement; 2, Core effect;

  21. Summary • A recommended set of cross sections are deduced based on the MOCC, AOCC, and CTMC and experiment; • Aid in X-ray modeling studies; • Core effect of the highly charged ions; • Strong effects of the rotational couplings: O6++H This work is partially supported by NASA grants NX09AV46G, NNG09WF24I, and NNH07ZDA001N.
