Up: Charge transfer in collisions O+ H+


5 Summary

New theoretical calculations of charge transfer in collisions of O+ with H and H+ with O have been presented for collision energies between 0.1 meV/u and 10 MeV/u. Using these results in conjunction with previous experimental and theoretical data, accurate cross sections and rate coefficients have been computed which are applicable in numerous astrophysical and atmospheric situations.
