Charge transfer in B{sup 2+}({sup 2}{ital S},{sup 2}{ital P})+He and in B{sup 3+}({sup 1}{ital S})+He collisions is studied theoretically by using a semiclassical molecular representation with 8 and 12 molecular channels for B{sup 2+} and B{sup 3+} on He systems, respectively, at collision energies between 200 eV and 200 keV for the former and between 600 eV and 50 keV for the latter. The {ital ab} {ital initio} potential curves and nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements are obtained from the multireference single- and double-excitation configuration-interaction (MRD-CI) calculations for the B{sup 2+}-He system and a pseudopotential-modified configuration-interaction method for the B{sup 3+}-He system. The present cross sections for charge transfer by the ground state B{sup 2+} ions are found to have a broad maximum with a magnitude as large as 2{times}10{sup {minus}15} cm{sup 2} at 100 keV and those by an excited B{sup 2+}({sup 2}{ital P}) state are found to be larger by a factor of 6 than those by the ground state in the same energy regime. B{sup 2+}-excitation cross sections are smaller than those for charge transfer below 1 keV, while they increasingly dominate above this energy. The present total charge-transfer cross section for B{sup 3+} in collisions with He is similar to that obtained in earlier work by Gargaud {ital et} {ital al}. [J. Phys. B {bold 27}, 3985 (1994)] both in magnitude and energy dependence, but is found to show slightly different B{sup 2+}(2{ital s}) and B{sup 2+}(2{ital p}) production ratio. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
