Scientific paper

Absolute cross sections have been measured for single and double charge exchange and x-ray line emission for highly charged ions of C, N, O, and Ne colliding with He, H2, CO2, and H2O at collisions energies of 7q keV. Present results of charge exchange in He and H2 compare favorably with previous results. For CO2 and H2O, where prior work is scarce, the classical overbarrier model is found to overestimate results by up to a factor of 3. An analysis of the relative intensities of the observed Lyman x-ray transitions indicates that capture into l states is not statistical, as collision velocities are insufficient to populate the highest angular-momentum states. The importance of autoionization following multiple capture is highlighted, and enhanced radiative stabilization following double capture is observed and compared to other studies. Present results are also discussed in terms of mechanisms likely to generate x-ray emission in comets.
