Electron transfer, ionization, and excitation in collisions between protons and the ions N$^{6+}$ and O$^{7+}$

Abstract
Coupled-state cross sections are being determined for electron transfer, ionization, and excitation in collisions between keV-energy protons and the hydrogenic ions N$^{6+}$ and O$^{7+}$, extending early\footnote{T. G. Winter, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 35}, 3799 (1987).} and more recent work\footnote{T. G. Winter, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 87}, 032704 (2013).} on the less highly charged target ions He$^{+}$, Li$^{2+}$, Be$^{3+}$, B$^{4+}$, and C$^{5+}$. As in the more recent work, a basis of 60 Sturmians on each center is being used, and in a second calculation, a basis of 280 Sturmians on the target nucleus and a single $1s$ function on the proton is being used. The extent to which high-energy scaling rules with target nuclear charge $Z$ are valid is being examined further for transfer to the ground state, total transfer, and ionization, as well as for excitation and individual-state processes at intermediate energies near where the cross sections peak.
