RESONANT ELECTRON-CAPTURE IN ATOM METAL COLLISIONS - H-AL(111)

Resonant electron capture in fast grazing H-Al(111) collisions is studied with a new nonperturbative method, the coupled angular mode (CAM) method. The quantities needed to describe the electron capture, namely the energy position and autodetachment width of the H- negative ion state are determined. This static study, in contrast with an earlier perturbation treatment, is in agreement with data extracted from experimental results on electron capture by Wyputta et al.
