“…The theoretical work that was carried out on the C 6+ and Au 24+/53+ systems has been dominated by the continuum distorted-wave eikonal-initial-state approximation (CDW-EIS) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]18,21,23,25,27,[30][31][32][33]35,39,40], its earlier CDW incarnation [11,14,16,17,22,37], or related approximations [19,21,26,27,39,41], and by the classical trajectory Monte Carlo method (CTMC) [7,10,[12][13][14][15][16]19,[35][36][37][38]. Clearly, therefore, there is scope for a fresh approach.…”
