Abstract
Classical-trajectory Monte Carlo calculations have been performed for collisions of protons with state-selected hydrogenic Rydberg atoms. The examples investigated were Rydberg atoms in the n=10, l=9 level with ml=0 and 9. The collision velocity range was 0.1 to 1.0 a.u. (2.2x107 to 2.2x108 cm/s). The ionization cross sections were found to be relatively insensitive to changes in the ml levels. However, the charge-transfer cross sections showed considerable enhancement if the Rydberg electron is orientated in a plane which is parallel to the direction of the incident projectile. © 1983 The American Physical Society.
