Ab initio calculation of electron-capture cross sections in H++BeH collisions

We present calculations of electron-capture cross sections in collisions of H+ with BeH molecules in the energy range 25 eV <E< 10 keV. We discuss the validity of the models employed to describe nonadiabatic ion-molecule collisions, specifically the eikonal approximation, the Franck-Condon app...
