✦ Synopsis

A program is presented which calculates total and differential cross-sections for the ionisation of hydrogen-like targets by the impact of fully stripped ions. Any one of four theoretical descriptions can be used, namely. (i) the first Born approximation, (ii) the distorted wave born approximation, (iii) the continuum distorted wave approximation, or (iv) the continuum distorted wave eikonal initial state approximation.
