Recently, very high abundances of ultraheavy ions were observed in impulsive SEP events, compared to coronal abundances with enrichment factors of >100 for atomic mass > 100 amu. Because wave/particle interaction processes, as discussed for heavy ion enrichment and acceleration, depend critically on the mass per charge (M/Q) of the ions, an estimate of the ionic charge is very important for model calculations. In any realistic acceleration model one would have to use the ionization and recombination rates of these ions as a function of energy, because charge changing processes in the solar corona are inevitable and energy dependent. As an example of high mass ions, we calculate the equilibrium and non-equilibrium charge states for tellurium ions (Te, nuclear charge 52), and present a method to estimate the cross sections and rates for ionization and recombination of ions with arbitrary nuclear charge Z and atomic mass number A.
