During the irradiation of human tissues with such ions, the biological molecules are ionized and excited. Mainly, in the region of maximum energy deposition (known as the Bragg’s peak), multi-electron processes occur (transfer-ionization, multiple ionization, etc). Experimental cross sections for multi-electron emission by heavy ion impact on molecules are scarce and the development of predictive accurate theoretical models to calculate multiple-ionization cross sections (MICS) is necessary. In previous works, exclusive MICS of water molecules by ion impact were calculated in the framework of the Independent Particle Model (IPM), employing a binomial distribution in order to take into account contributions from different molecular target orbitals. The single particle probabilities as a function of the impact parameter were calculated using two different methods: the Exponential Model (EM) and the Continuum Distorted Wave - Eikonal Initial State (CDW-EIS) approximation [1-2]. Within the Exponential Model, the single-electron emission probabilities for each shell are described by decreasing exponential functions with adjustable parameters to reproduce net-ionization cross sections. For the case of proton impact on Ne and Ar, MICS-EM was found in remarkable agreement with experimental data [3]. In the present work, we extend the use of the MICS-EM to monocentric Ne-like molecules (H2O, CH4, NH3). The post-collisional contributions, that dominate the MICS at high impact energy, are considered by extending the model used for Ne [3]. We analyze the dependence of MICS with the energy and charge of the projectile. For these light molecules good agreement with experimental data is obtained.
