IONIZATION OF THE HYDROGEN NEGATIVE ION MOVING IN A UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD

The ionization of the travelling hydrogen negative ion with high velocity in a uniform magnetic field is discussed by using perturbation theory in the first approximation. The choice of the H -ion wave function is illustrated with emphasis. And it is shown that various wave functions of the H-ion affect calculation results. The theoretical cal-culation by using Rotenberg-Stein wave function with five parameters is consistent with the experimental results ob-tained by G. M. STINSON et a1. in 1969.
