Popis: The authors have measured the cross sections for single electron loss and single electron capture for 0.6-2.2 MeV He+ colliding with He, Ne and Ar using the growth rate method and a molecular beam target. The results are compared with other available experimental data. For single electron loss theoretical comparisons are also made with the quantal first Born approximation and some semiclassical calculations. For single electron capture, comparisons are made with the modified classical calculations based on the binary encounter model. To date there seems to be no one theory which accurately describes the data. The theory of Kaneko (1985, 1986) is clearly promising for the neon target at energies greater than 0.15 MeV amu-1 but this could be fortuitous since the theory does not similarly reproduce the data for helium and argon targets. The theory of Kumar and Roy (1979) reproduces the energy dependence of the capture cross sections in the range 0.1-1.0 MeV amu-1 but the absolute values of the cross sections are subject to a scaling of the effective charge of the He. Unfortunately no single value of this effective charge applies to all three target gases.
