Abstract:
Absolute cross sections for double-electron transfer in H(-) + H(+) collisions have been measured for center-of-mass energies from 0.5 to 12 keV. Clear oscillations in the cross section are observed shedding new light on earlier measurements. Calculations based on a diabatic approach are shown to reproduce this behavior, but require a larger diabatic ion-pair splitting than previously assumed.
