Effects of alignment and interference in resonant transfer and excitation for F6+ and O5+ collisions with H2 in 0 degree Auger measurements

We have renormalized our previously reported 0 degree cross sections for zero resonant transfer and excitation calculation using high-resolution Auger spectroscopy (RTEA), dσRTEA(0 degree)/dΩ, obtained in 0.25--2-MeV/u collisions of F6+ and O5+ ions with H2 by normalizing to calculated binary-encounter electron yields rather than the usual Ne K Auger yields. The renormalized data are found to be in good agreement with recent angular-dependent impulse-approximation calculations of RTE, showing the importance of alignment and the small influence of interference between RTEA and elastic electron scattering for a 0 degree observation
