Abstract
A computer program calculating charge state distributions of ions with up to 28 electrons distributed over n = 1, 2 and 3 subshells has been developed. The model is based on an independent electron model taking into account electron loss, capture and excitation from and to all th e subshells, Calculated atomic cross sections are recomputed periodica lly to take into account their dependence with the projectile energy a nd its mean charge state when they vary as a function of target thickn ess.
