Main reactions creating He+ ions from charge exchange with solar wind alpha particles at an energy of 0.83 keV/amu.

Reaction Cross section (× 10-20 m2) Reference

(4) He2+ + H 8.53 ± 20% Barnett et al. (1990) a
(5) He2+ + O 4.00 ± 20% Chanteur et al. (2009) b
(6) He2+ + CO 3.58 ± 11% Kusakabe et al. (2006)
(7) He2+ + CO2 4.91 ± 11% Kusakabe et al. (2006)
(8) He2+ + H2O 8.40 ± 10% Greenwood et al. (2004)

Notes.

(a)

Log-interpolated value.

(b)

Following Shematovich et al. (2013), same cross section as for He2++O2 He++O from Rudd et al. (1985a) above 5 keV/amu for lack of measurements. Recommendation of Chanteur et al. (2009) below 5 keV/amu.
