Abstract
A description of the DEPOSIT computer code is presented. The code is intended to calculate total and m-fold electron-loss cross sections (m is the number of ionized electrons) and the energy T(b) deposited to the projectile (positive or negative ion) during a collision with a neutral atom at low and intermediate collision energies as a function of the impact parameter b. The deposited energy is calculated as a 3D-integral over the projectile coordinate space in the classical energy-deposition model. Examples of the calculated deposited energies, ionization probabilities and electron-loss cross sections are given as well as the description of the input and output data.
