ELECTRON-CAPTURE FROM H AND HE BY AL--3, SI-+2,SI-3,SI-4, AR+6 AND TI+4 IN THE EV TO KEV ENERGY-RANGE(2,AL)

Cross-section data for ion-atom collisions which play an important rol e in the edge plasma of magnetically confined fusion devices are revie wed. This paper is devoted to collisions between low and medium Z plas ma impurity ions (Si, Al Ar, Ti) and plasma neutrals (H, He). Charge e xchange reactions being the most important ion-atom processes occurrin g in the edge plasma we limit our study to these charge transfer react ions in the particular ion energy range 1eV-1keV/amu.
