Abstract
Electron capture in the collision of a proton with a hydrogen atom is investigated. The probability of electron capture is calculated from first principles by the direct solving of the three-dimensional nonstationary Schrödinger equation. The dependence of the probability of electron capture by a proton on the proton’s velocity and impact parameter is obtained and analyzed thanks to highly efficient computations with the use of graphic processing units.
