This paper describes the measurement of charge transfer cross-sections for protons, molecular hydrogen ions and helium ions in the rare gases and hydrogen, and electron detachment cross-sections for negative atomic hydrogen ions in the rare gases. Part I describes the energy range 3 to 40 keV. In part II the energy range 100 to 4000 eV is described, and the results are discussed in terms of the pseudo-adiabatic hypothesis. Comparisons are made with other experimental results, and anomalous molecular cases are discussed in terms of reactions involving anti-bonding states.
