Abstract

(Quasi)resonance electron-capture processes in non-symmetrical (ZP2ZT)(Z_{\rm P} \simeq 2Z_{\rm T}) heavy ion-atom collisions are studied employing a semiclassical atomic Dirac-Fock-Sturm orbital coupled-channel approach within an independent-particle model. %A special attention has been paid to study a role of the relativistic effects. Systematic calculations of the electron-capture cross sections of the target KK-shell electrons to the LL subshells of the projectile have been carried out for the collisions of bare thorium (ZP=90)(Z_{\rm P}=90) and zinc (ZP=30)(Z_{\rm P}=30) nuclei with hydrogenlike ions (ZT=36(Z_{\rm T}=36-47)47) and (ZT=12(Z_{\rm T}=12-15)15), correspondingly. Strong relativistic effects, crucial for the case of Th90+^{90+}-Ru43+(1s)^{43+}(1s) collisions in the low-energy regime, are found. Various one- and two-electron capture processes occurring in course of the collisions of the two-electron system Th90+^{90+}-Ru42+(1s2)^{42+}(1s^2) have been investigated in details in the wide range of collision energies 0.50.5-5050~MeV/u. The impact parameter dependencies of the double electron-capture processes are also presented. Our study demonstrates a very significant role of the relativistic effects for the processes, which becomes crucial in the low-energy regime.
