Abstract
Electron-loss processes arising in collisions of heavy
many-electron ions (like U28+) with neutral atoms (H, N, Ar) are
considered over a wide energy range including relativistic energies. Various
computer codes (LOSS, LOSS-R, HERION and RICODE), created for calculation of
the electron-loss cross sections, and their capability are described.
Recommended data on the electron-loss cross sections of U28+ ions
colliding with H, N, Ar targets and predicted lifetimes of U28+ ion
beams in accelerator are given. Calculated electron-loss cross sections are
compared with available experimental data and other calculations.
