ABSTRACTExperiments are described which illustrate that resonant neutralization of mass-selected cluster ions provides a universal method to produce neutral mass-selected metal cluster beams. Specifically, lead cluster ions, Pbn+ with n d 12, were neutralized by charge exchange reactions in atomic sodium and other target materials. Absolute charge exchange cross sections are on the order of 40 Å2 and up to 30% of the incident ions were neutralized. Possible fragmentation of the clusters associated with neutralization was investigated by translational spectroscopy. No indication of fragmentation was found for resonant electron transfer with atomic Na as target gas.. Thus, neutral metal cluster beams with ultra-narrow size distribution are produced. Deposition of such size-selected metal clusters on substrates opens new perspectives in materials science.

The nuclear isotopic structure can be understood easily via the intermediate-energy charge exchange reactions of (p, n) and [Formula: see text]He, [Formula: see text] type. In the current contribution, we present some results for charge exchange reactions induced by 3He on targets lying in mass region [Formula: see text] within the theoretical framework of plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) and distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA). Here, the recoil effects in PWIA have also been considered. Particularly, the angular distributions and the unit cross-sections have been calculated and compared with the available data. Further, the importance of inclusion of the exchange contribution in these reactions is also considered, which eventually enhance the matching with data.

A review is presented of charge exchange reactions of multiply charged ions with atomic hydrogen and helium at thermal-eV energies, typical of the physical conditions encountered in planetary nebulae. The basic features of the processes are analyzed in the framework of the molecular model of atomic collisions. A discussion is given of the different theoretical approaches to the calculation of the collision cross sections. A comparison with recent experimental data is included.

The (p, n) and (n, p) charge-exchange reactions are a suitable tool in nuclear-structure studies. At intermediate energies, the interaction with the target resembles that between free nucleons, which makes the probes mostly susceptible to the spin dynamics of the nucleus. We review the current theoretical picture of nucleon–nucleus charge-exchange reactions. A brief introduction to the theory of direct reactions in the impulse approximation is given. We then discuss the random-phase approximation (RPA) linear response theory, which is widely used in the calculation of cross sections and related observables. To understand correctly the shape of the continuum cross sections, one needs a more sophisticated theory. We discuss suitable extensions of the RPA that incorporate spreading effects as well as escape effects. Charge-exchange reactions of the (n, p) type have important implications for the evolution of massive stars. The relevance for Type-II supernovae is discussed.

We study theoretically pion double charge exchange reactions leading to double pionic atoms. The reaction cross-sections with two pions in the deeper bound pionic orbits in 208Pb are calculated with realistic pionic atom wave functions and distortion effects. The cross-sections are found to be d2σ/dEdΩ~10−3−10−4 µ b/srMeV , which are only a small fraction of the double charge exchange background.
