Normalized charge distributions of helium (left) and hydrogen (right) and effect of individual processes for a cometocentric distance of 50 km and a heliocentric distance of 2 AU. Double charge exchange (labeled “DCX”) and electron loss (labeled “EL”) cross sections are sequentially set to zero and compared to the full set (labeled “All”). For hydrogen species, differences between all three runs are minimal. Solar wind speeds range from 100 to 5000 km s⁻¹.
