Abstract. In this work, the process of electron capture in partially ionized plasma is considered. Electron--atom interaction was described by the effective interaction potential, which takes into account the screening effect at large distances and the diffraction effect at the small distances. The results of numerical calculations of the electron capture radius, differential cross-section for different values of the coupling and density parameters are presented. The differential cross-section was obtained on the basis of perturbation theory and also by solving of the equation of motion of the projectile electron.
In this paper, the process of electron capture in nonideal plasma has been investigated. For this goal the Bohr-Lindhard method has been applied to obtain the electron capture cross section. All calculations have been done in the framework of the trajectories of incident electron near hydrogen ion (proton) obtained by the numerical simulation of the equations of motion. The effective interaction potential, which takes into account the static or dynamic screening effects at large distances and quantum diffraction effects at short distances, was used. The results of numerical calculations of the electron capture radius, differential and total cross section for different values of the density parameter and velocity are presented. It is shown that dynamic charge screening increases the capture cross sections in comparison with static screening.
In this paper, the ionization and recombination coefficients of dense semiclassical hydrogen plasma on the basis of the effective interaction potential have been investigated. For this goal the Bohr-Lindhard method and method phase function have been applied to obtain the electron capture and ionization cross sections. The electron capture cross section has been calculated in the framework of the perturbation theory. The effective interaction potential, which takes into account the screening effects at large distances and quantum diffraction effects at short distances, was used. The results of the investigation show the behaviour of the calculated kinetic coefficients with a change in the plasma parameters: the ionization coefficient decreases with increasing density and (or) coupling parameter while the recombination coefficient increases.
