Single electron capture into arbitrary states of bare projectiles from multi-electron targets

. The prior form of four-body boundary-corrected first Born (CB1-4B) method is applied to calculate the total cross sections for single electron capture from the K-shell of multi-electron atoms (C, N, O, Ar) by fast projectiles (H + , He 2+ and Li 3+ ). All calculations are carried out for electron capture into the arbitrary n, l, and m final states of the projectiles. The present results are found to be in very good agreement with the available experimental data at intermediate and high impact energies.
