Research on accelerator-based atomic physics at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory super - HILAC and Bevalac accelerators is described. This research covers several important topics in collisions of fast, highly charged ions with atoms: charge transfer, ionization, and excitation. Multiple-electron processes are emphasized. Electron correlation is important in some of these processes, e.g., resonance transfer and excitation (RTE) multiple-electron capture in close collisions. A variety of experiments and results for energies from 1 to 420 MeV/u are presented.
