20. This transformation is rigourously valid when all the atoms are localized in a set of mutually disjoint regions, which is the case here since we are working with one atom only. For further details see Ref. [9].

26. The analogous Hamiltonian describing the coupling between the plasmon fields and the incoming proton, could be written down immediately with the replacement of the electron operators (e ̂ † (r ) and e ̂ (r ) ) by the corresponding proton operators (p ̂ † (R ) and p ̂ (R ) ), plus the change of sign of u q, with the 3-D spatial integration performed over the proton's coordinates R.

30. par; since for energies of few keV and angles of incidence around 1°, typical of the actual neutralization experiments [12], the effects of the perpendicular velocity are expected to be smaller than 1%.
31. Time dependency will introduce an extra factor exp [ i (mv ∥ 2 / 2 - E ) t ] on the right side of the last of Eqs. (32). However, it is clear that its contribution is washed out when obtaining the relevant transition rates [3].
