Abstract
Cross sections for the nonresonant charge transfer process at low energies are calculated in hyperspherical coordinates. The method is free from all the inherent ambiguities associated with the conventional Born-Oppenheimer approach, such as the incorrect asymptotic energies and spurious couplings. However, like the Born-Oppenheimer approach, we show that hyperspherical potential curves and coupling terms have to be calculated only once to obtain results for all partial waves. Feshbach and shape resonances of near the threshold are also calculated.
