Ion-atom excitation at high and intermediate energies

Exact post and prior impulse approximation cross sections are calculated for the excitation process H++H (1s to n=2). The results show a large post-prior discrepancy and a huge disagreement with the experiments, even at energies where the simple Born approximation already works. Following a previous...
