Abstract
The impact of 1GeV/Nucleon U92+ projectiles against atomic hydrogen is studied by direct numerical resolution of the time-dependent wave equation for the atomic electron on a three-dimensional Cartesian lattice. We employ the fully relativistic expressions to describe the electromagnetic fields created by the incident ion. The wave equation for the atom interacting with the projectile is carefully derived from the time-dependent Dirac equation in order to retain all the relevant terms.
