Abstract
We have used cold-target recoil-ion momentum spectroscopy to study electron capture from atomic and molecular hydrogen targets by slow and ions. For the atomic hydrogen target, we have performed coupled-channel calculations using an atomic orbital expansion to compare to the experimental results. The -value spectra show strong populations of both and states on the projectile, with a tendency for increasing the population of high-angular momentum states for higher projectile velocity. A strong population of is found, a result not previously reported but in good agreement with the present calculations.
