Radiative Charge Transfer Between the Helium Ion and Argon

TL;DR

This paper calculates the rate coefficient for radiative charge transfer between helium ions and argon atoms, finding results consistent with previous experiments, which enhances understanding of ion-atom interactions.

Contribution

The paper provides a theoretical calculation of the radiative charge transfer rate coefficient between helium ions and argon atoms, aligning with experimental data.

Findings

Rate coefficient is approximately 10^{-14} cm^3/s at 300 K.

Calculated results agree with earlier experimental measurements.

Abstract

The rate coefficient for radiative charge transfer between the helium ion and an argon atom is calculated. The rate coefficient is about $10^{-14}$ cm${}^3$/s at 300 K in agreement with earlier experimental data.
