Abstract
We have measured the electron-loss cross section for collisions between protons and highly excited hydrogen atoms having principal quantum numbers in the nominal band . The c.m. collision energy range was . Theoretical ionization-cross-section results are compared with the data and are then used to unfold from the data the approximate electron-transfer cross section. Classical scaling calculations are found to be in reasonable agreement with the unfolded data while quantal predictions are not.
