Abstract
We study charge-transfer reactions between slowly moving, highly charged ions and neutral atoms using an energy-loss spectroscopy method. In this study, Xeq+ (q = 4–11) ions (incident energy: 5.0 keV) are used as the incident ions and Ar as the target atom. Transfer-ionization (TI) processes are identified for one-electron capture reactions by application of a coincidence technique. We find that the TI process represents approximately 25% of the total one-electron capture reaction for . The measured energy gains agree well with theoretical predictions for one-electron capture, but the agreement between the measured and theoretical energy gains is not as good for two-electron capture processes.
