Abstract
The electron capture from hydrogen by highly charged-bare ions was studied using a three-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) method. The state-selective capture cross sections, calculated for a wide range of collision energies, were used to estimate x-ray emission cross sections. The capture process produced excited hydrogen-like ions and captured majority of electrons into one or two dopant states at low collision energies. The calculations predicted a large increase in the fraction of prompt x-rays produced with the lowering of the collision energy. The analysis suggested that ionization potential change for each collision and multiple capture played significant role in the collisions of highly charged projectiles.
