Abstract
The authors derive the classical equations of motion for the three-body problem in a constant uniform magnetic field. They solve these for an ion-atom collision with the field along the initial projectile velocity on the assumption that the field quantum (h(cross) omega c) is small compared with the ionisation potential of the target, using the classical trajectory Monte Carlo method. The example chosen is He2+ on H at laboratory energies of 25, 50 and 75 keV amu-1. Increases of as much as 17% are found in the field-free capture and ionisation cross sections as the field increases up to 4.7*104 T.Keywords
