An impact parameter method for calculating cross sections as a function of incident ion energy is used in conjunction with an improved exchange energy formulation to update several of the charge exchange cross sections currently used in Io plasma torus modeling. New cross sections for S++S2+→S2+ +S+ and Na+ on neutral targets, useful in analyzing the fast Na jets observed at Io, are also calculated. ¿ The American Geophysical Union 1989
