Differential Cross Sections For State-selective Electron Capture In 25100-keV Proton-helium Collisions
Cross sections differential in the scattering angle of the projectile are presented for electron capture summed over all states and to the 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, and 4p states of hydrogen in 25-, 50-, and 100-keV proton-helium collisions. The classical-trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) technique was employed for these calculations as well as to compute total cross sections as a function of impact energy. The latter are compared with experiment to display the behavior of the integral state-selective cross sections in this energy regime. Detailed comparison is also made between the calculated angular differential cross sections and the experimental measurements of Martin et al. [Phys. Rev. A 23, 285 (1981)] for capture summed over all states and of Seely et al. [Phys. Rev. A 45, R1287 (1992)] for capture to the 2p state. Very good overall agreement is found. Regarding the cross section for capture summed over all states, an improved agreement is demonstrated by using an alternate representation of the initial state in the CTMC method, which improves the electronic radial distribution, but which cannot presently be applied to state-selective determinations.

Low-energy charge transfer for collisions of Si3+ with atomic hydrogen
Cross sections of charge transfer for Si3+ ions with atomic hydrogen at collision energies of ā40ā2500āeV/u were carried out using a merged-beam technique at the Multicharged Ion Research Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The data span an energy range in which both molecular orbital close coupling (MOCC) and classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) calculations are available. The influence of quantum mechanical effects of the ionic core as predicted by MOCC is clearly seen in our results. However, discrepancies between our experiment and MOCC results toward higher collision energies are observed. At energies above 1000 eV/u good agreement is found with CTMC results
P02.123. The anti-diabetic and cholesterol-lowering effects of common and cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum and C. aromaticum): a randomized controlled trial
This paper accompanies a poster presentation on the anti-diabetic and cholesterol-lowering effects of common and cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum and C. aromaticum)
Elastic angular differential cross sections for quasi-oneelectron collision systems at intermediate energies: (Na\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e, Li\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e)+H and (Mg\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e, Be\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e)+He
Measurements of elastic angular differential cross sections have been carried out for four quasi-one-electron collision systems at intermediate energies. Data are presented for Na++H collisions at laboratory energies of 35.94, 51.75, 63.89, and 143.75 keV, for Li++H collisions at energies of 19.44 and 43.75 keV, for Mg++He collisions at energies of 30, 66.7, and 150 keV, and for Be++He collisions at an energy of 56.25 keV. The highest energy in each case corresponds to a projectile velocity of (1/2 a.u. Born and Eikonal calculations, in which we model the projectile ion as a heavy structureless ion of charge +1e, are also presented. Our model calculations are in fair agreement with the experimental data over the range of measured scattering angles
Spinors in Weyl Geometry
We consider the wave equation for spinors in -dimensional Weyl
geometry. By appropriately coupling the Weyl vector as well as
the spin connection to the spinor field, conformal
invariance can be maintained. The one loop effective action generated by the
coupling of the spinor field to an external gravitational field is computed in
two dimensions. It is found to be identical to the effective action for the
case of a scalar field propagating in two dimensions.Comment: 13 pages, REVTEX, no figure
Angular-Differential Studies of Excitation in Quasi-One-Electron Collisions at High Energy
Qualitative differences have been observed between two types of quasi-one-electron collision systems. We have studied valence-electron excitation at high energy (relative collision velocities up to 0.5 a.u.) in the Mg++He and Na++H collision systems, and find that while Mg++He collisions are dominated by direct excitation, the Na++H collisions exhibit significant molecular excitation, even at the highest velocities. This behavior can be understood in terms of the molecular structure of the respective collision complexes, and the energy separation between the ground and first excited states of the valence electron

Low-energy electron capture by Ne2+ ions from H(D)
Using the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ion-atom merged-beams apparatus, the absolute, total single-electron-capture cross section has been measured for collisions of Ne2+ with deuterium (D) at center-of-mass (c.m.) collision energies of 59ā949 eVāu. With the high-velocity ion beams now available at the ORNL Multicharged Ion Research Facility, we have extended our previous merged-beams measurement to lower c.m. collision energies. The data are compared to all four previously published measurements for Ne2++H(D) which differ considerably from one another at energies ā²600 eVāu. We are unaware of any published theoretical cross-section data for Ne2++H(D) at the energies studied. Early quantal rate coefficient calculations for Ne2++H at eV/u energies suggest a cross section many orders of magnitude below previous measurements of the cross section at 40 eVāu which is the lowest collision energy for which experimental results have been published. Here we compare our measurements to recent theoretical electron-capture results for He2++H. Both the experimental and theoretical results show a decreasing cross section with decreasing energy
