Abstract
Two electron processes in He2+ +He collisions are investigated theoretically within the independent electron approximation. The transition probabilities for double capture, transfer ionization and double ionization processes are expressed in terms of products of single electron transition probabilities which are calculated using the atomic orbital expansion method (AO). The effect of relaxation due to the change of screening in the second electron is examined by using a different effective charge in the calculation of single electron transition probabilties for the second electron. The role of electron correlation is partially explored for the double electron capture process by performing a two-electron version of the AO+ code.
