Charge transfer and ionization involving argon ions and neutral hydrogen

We present classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) calculations of total and partial cross sections for capture and ionization in Ar18+, Ar17+, Ar16++H(1s) collisions in the 30–300 keV amu−1 impact energy range. We specially focus on capture into high-lying states of the projectile, which are of paramount importance for diagnostics of fusion plasmas involving Arq+ seeding.
