The combination of recoil ion and ionized electron momentum spectrosco
py provides an unparalleled method to investigate the details of ion-a
tom collision dynamics. In order to predict scattering behavior and co
llaborate with experimental projects, the classical trajectory 3- and
n-body Monte Carlo method has been modified to yield complete momenta
information for ionized electron spectra in the collision plane define
d by the incident projectile and outgoing projectile or recoil ion. To
illuminate the richness of these spectra, calculations of 300 and 500
keV p and p(-) single ionization collisions with He are presented for
low q/v perturbation strengths. For strong q/v collisions, the 100, 3
00 and 500 keV/u Ne10+ on He systems are illustrated. Strong asymmetry
of the slow and saddle point electrons are predicted for antiproton a
nd highly-charged Ne10+ projectiles. Furthermore. The electron capture
to the continuum spectra for Ne10+ are observed to have not only the
expected asymmetry in the longitudinal direction, but also a strong as
ymmetry in the collision plane.
