Collisions of neutral hydrogen atoms with multiply charged ions have been studied in the past using the semi-classical atomic-orbital close-coupling method. We present total and state-resolved cross sections for charge exchange as well as ionization. The advent of supercomputers and parallel programming facilities now allow treatment of collision systems that have been out of reach before, because much larger basis sets involving high quantum numbers are now feasible.
