Absolute initial-to-final state-selective one-electron capture cross sections for Ne+2-Xe collisions

An optical attenuation technique adapted for the vuv spectral region was used to determine total one-electron capture cross sections for collisions of ground state and metastable doubly charged Neon ions with Xe atoms at 40 keV impact energy. The cross sections turned out to be considerably different which can be explained by a larger probability for transfer ionization for the metastable primary ions. The fractions of both ion states have been derived and used to determine initial-to-final state-selective one-electron capture cross sections for production of several NeII states. (Auth.)
