Abstract

The classical Monte Carlo method is employed to calculate the cross sections for total and state-selective electron capture and ionization in collisions of multiply charged Neq+ (q=3-10) ions with ground state atomic hydrogen in the intermediate to high energy region. The active electron interaction with the incompletely stripped neon ion is described by a Thomas-Fermi type model potential. It is demonstrated that the total electron capture cross section for q>or=5 can be scaled with respect to q in the entire energy region investigated ( approximately (10-300)q12/). Some scaling properties of the state-selective and ionization cross sections are also discussed.
