Ion-Atom-Wave - Calculation of single ionization cross sections in ion-atom collisions

A Fortran 90 program is presented, namely Ion-Atom-Wave (IAW), which calcul ates total, single and double differential cross sections for the single io nization of atomic and molecular hydrogen-like targets and helium-like targ ets by both light-and-heavy-ion impact. The cross sections are evaluated wi thin the continuum distorted-wave final-state (CDW) and the continuum disto rted-wave eikonal-initial-state (CDW-EIS) approximations. IAW calculates cr oss sections within the wave treatment. This program extends a previously p ublished program ION (D.S.F. Crothers and M. McCartney, Comput. Phys. Commu n. 72 (1992) 288) which calculated the total, single and double differentia l cross sections for the ionization of hydrogen-like targets by fully strip ped ions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
