Abstract

The classical trajectory Monte Carlo method and the post form of three-body boundary corrected continuum intermediate state (BCCIS-3B) approximation are employed to calculate the cross sections for total and state-selective electron capture in collision of highly charged Ne q+ ions with ground state hydrogen atom in the intermediate to high energy region. In both these methods, the active electron interactions with the partially stripped neon ions are described by a model potential containing both a long-range part and a short-range part. We have also calculated the double electroncapture cross sections in collision of fully stripped neon ion with helium atom in the energy range 80-2,000 keV/amu using the post-form of four-body BCCIS approximation (BCCIS-4B). In BCCIS formalism, the intermediate continuum state of the active electrons with the projectile ion has been taken into account as the projectile charge is greater than the target charge. In addition, state-selective charge transfer cross sections are given in tabular and graphical form.
