Abstract
To establish the dynamical aspects of shape resonance, we investigate the electron capture processes N5+ + H → N4+(4s, 4p) + H+ by using a wave packet propagation method that can treat non-adiabatic collision processes. It is found that the incident wave packet is trapped into quasi-bound potentials when the collision energy coincides with that of the rovibrational state of the quasi-molecule. The wave packet component trapped in the N5+ + H effective potential transfers to electron capture channels rather than returns to the initial channel by tunneling again.
