We investigate experimentally and theoretically the electron emission in collisions between He atoms and Liq+ (q = 1, 2) projectiles at intermediate to high incident energies. We report on measured absolute values of double-differential cross-sections, as a function of the emitted electron energy and angle, at a collision energy of 440 keV u−1. The different contributions from target ionization, projectile ionization, and simultaneous target?projectile ionization are calculated with the quantum-mechanical continuum distorted wave and continuum distorted wave?eikonal initial state models, and with classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulations. There is an overall good agreement of the calculations with the experimental data for electron emission cross-sections.
