Our expertise is the modeling of electronic processes occurring in the course of collisions between low-charge ions and atoms or molecules. We are particularly interested in the so-called intermediate energy domain where the inelastic processes (capture, excitation and ionisation) are strongly coupled. We base our calculations on a semi-classical non-perturbative approach which requires to solve the time dependent Schrödinger equation. Our team have developed several home-made codes which take into account up to four active electrons. These codes allow us to compute integral and differential cross sections, see for example the figure below in which the double electron capture cross sections are plotted as function of impact energy for the C4+-He collision system.
