Abstract
We investigate the neutralization of low energy He+ ions in close collisions with metal surface atoms. In order to describe the neutralization process as completely as possible, we consider Auger neutralization (AN), resonant neutralization (RN) and resonant ionization (RI). Our calculation agrees well with experimental data and shows that in some metals (like Pd) AN is the dominant process, whereas in others (like Al) RN and RI contribute significantly for energies above the threshold for reionization.
