Abstract

Charge exchange in 1 keV H++Na→H(2p)+Na+ is studied in a Lyman-α scattered particle coincidence experiment. An initial Na(3p) state is prepared by laser-optical pumping; its alignment is controlled by the laser light polarization. The results are compared to a 34 coupled-channels calculation (R. Shingal), and discussed on the basis of an asymptotic model of the charge exchange process.
