Cover Story: This work presents a combined experimental and theoretical study of single-electron capture in He+–He collisions from 0.5 to 5 keV/u. Using cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy, state-selective and angular differential cross sections were measured. Capture into the ground state is the dominant channel. The angular differential cross sections for ground-state capture exhibit distinct oscillatory structures. Theoretical calculations using the two-center atomic orbital close-coupling method successfully reproduce these oscillations, indicating they originate from quantum interference effects correlated with the impact parameter dependence of the electron capture probability. This study provides insights into the quantum mechanisms of charge transfer in symmetric ion–atom collisions. View this paper

In exotic atomic systems with hadronic constituent particles, it is notoriously difficult to estimate the strong-interaction correction to energy levels. It is well known that, due to the strength of the nuclear interaction, the problem cannot be sol...
