Abstract: | We use the eikonal approximation to develop a general formula for the cross sections of inelastic collisions of multicharged
fast ions (including relativistic ions) with atoms that is applicable within a broad range of collision energies, has the
standard nonrelativistic limit, and becomes, in the ultrarelativistic case, the well-known result that follows from the exact
solution of the Dirac equation. As an example we study the excitation and ionization of a hydrogenlike atom, the single and
double excitation and ionization of a heliumlike atom, and multiple (up to the eighth order) ionization of the neon atom and
(up to eighteenth order) ionization of the argon atom. We derive simple analytical expressions for the inelastic cross sections
and establish recurrence relations linking the cross sections of ionization of different orders. Finally, we compare our results
with the experimental data.
