Classical and semi-classical treatments of Li3+, Ne10++H(1s) collisions

Abstract

We perform molecular close-coupling and impact-parameter classical trajectory Monte Carlo calculations of total and partial cross sections for capture and ionization in collisions of highly charged ions on H(1s). We first consider Li3++H(1s) as a benchmark to ascertain the complementarity of the methods, and then Ne10++H(1s), which has been scarcely studied up to now, and has recently become of interest for fusion plasma research.
