Abstract The total cross section for charge transfer at high but non-relativistic energy is investigated within a new time-independent wave version of the halfway-house phase integral variational continuum distorted wave formalism, using simple first order perturbation theory. Following Crothers, Dubé and Brown this theory satisfies all known short and long range Coulomb boundary conditions which is essential if intermediate elastic divergences are to be avoided. The discussion is specialised to the particular case ofls →ls capture. Numerical results for this amplitude are obtained by a double numerical integration. Wave results derived for the capture process $$P^{Z_P^ + } + (T^{Z_T^ + } + e^ - ) \to (P^{Z_P^ + } + e^ - ) + T^{Z_T^ + } $$ in the caseZ T = 1 =Z P are compared with various theoretical impact parameter models and experimental data. Representative distributions of the total cross sections are presented as a function of the impact energy.
