Semi-classical approaches to the ion-atom scattering

Maciej Janowicz, Katarzyna Słabkowska, Piotr Matuszak and Marek Polasik

Three semi-classical approaches to the simulation of ion–atom scattering: the Kirschbaum–Wilets, the Cohen energy-bounded, and the wave-packet – are used to calculate the ionization and charge-transfer cross sections for the scattering of fully stripped sulfur ions on atomic hydrogen. Their comparison in the high-energy regime is provided. Elements of microscopic analysis of Kirschbaum–Wilets trajectories are given.
