Popis: Electron capture and ionisation in bare neon ion collisions with ground-state atomic hydrogen are modelled over the energy range from 1 to 2000 keV/u using the two-center semiclassical wave-packet convergent close-coupling method. The calculated total electron-capture cross section agrees very well with the molecular and atomic orbital close-coupling calculations at low and intermediate energies. Our results slightly overestimate the experimental results by Meyer et al [1985 Phys. Rev. A 32 3310], but underestimate the measurements by Panov et al [1983 Phys. Scr. T3 124] available only below 10 keV/u. At higher energies, where there are no measurements, the results also agree very well with the classical trajectory Monte-Carlo results. Partial n and nl-resolved electron-capture cross sections, important for fusion plasma diagnostics, have also been calculated for final states up to n = 10, where n and l are the final state principal and angular momentum quantum numbers, respectively. The results are generally in good agreement with the atomic calculations. However, due to the finer energy grid used, we are able to detect pronounced oscillations in the state-selective cross sections for n ⩾ 8 at energies below 10 keV/u. Our results for the total ionisation cross section are overall in good agreement with the latest classical trajectory Monte-Carlo results.
