Abstract: | A review of processes that occur in high energy heavy ion acceleration by synchrotrons and colliders and that are essential
for the accelerator performance is presented. Interactions of ions with the residual gas molecules/atoms and with stripping
foils that deliberately intercept the ion trajectories are described in details. These interactions limit both the beam intensity
and the beam quality. The processes of electron loss and capture lie at the root of heavy ion charge exchange injection. The
review pays special attention to the ion induced vacuum pressure instability which is one of the main factors limiting the
beam intensity. The intrabeam scattering phenomena which restricts the average luminosity of ion colliders is discussed. Some
processes in nuclear interactions of ultra-relativistic heavy ions that could be dangerous for the performance of ion colliders
are represented in the last chapter.
