Notes:
The charge transfer cross section is calculated for C6++CH(1s) collisions, through photon assisted 5gσ–6hσ, 5gσ–4fσ, 5gσ–4fπ, and 5gσ–4dσ transitions. The theory developed by Copeland and Tang, and ourselves, is employed, and the validity of the approximations used is tested. The four processes considered have widely different characteristics with regards to the laser wavelength needed, the collision dynamics and the applicability of back-of-the-envelope estimates based on the Landau–Zener approximation. We point out the relevance of those processes to the impurity diagnostics of magnetically confined fusion plasmas and to the development of short wavelength lasers.
