Collisions of highly charged ions with hydrogen relevant to plasma diagnostics

We present total cross sections for ionization, and total and nl-partial cross sections for electron capture in collisions of Kr36+ and W60+ with H(1s). Calculations have been carried out using the classical trajectory Monte Carlo method. We have found that scaling laws as functions of the ion charge are valid for total electron capture cross sections, but they are less accurate for n-partial cross sections. The nl-partial cross sections show l distributions similar to those found for collisions with Ar18+ by Errea et al ( 2006 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 39 L91).
