Abstract
A theoretical investigation on single- and double-electron capture in highly-charged-nitrogen-ion and hydrogen-molecule collisions is carried out using a two-active-electron semiclassical nonperturbative approach. It is shown that electron-electron correlations play an important role and that capture into the autoionizing states must be considered when comparing with experimental data for single projectile charge-changing processes.
