Abstract
A multistate molecular approach to the proton-hydrogen-atom collision is formulated. Spurious long-range couplings are avoided and Galilean invariance enforced through variationally determined momentum translation factors. Well-defined radial and rotational couplings are employed in the 1-7-keV energy range in a ten-state calculation. Good agreement with Bayfield is obtained for the charge-exchange probability. Concerning polarization of Lyman- radiation, comparison with Kauppila et al. is made.
