Comparison of Charge Transfer in Proton Collisions with Methane and Silane for Simulations of Cold Plasma Impurities

抄録

Theoretical cross sections values for electron capture by proton impacting on methane and silane molecules are presented, based on the multi-reference single- and double-excitation configuration interaction calculation of electronic structures of collision intermediates, and compared with the available semi-empirical formulas recommended for fusion plasma simulations. The current results may apply not only to the simulations of fusion edge plasmas, but also plasmas of technological interest.
