Scientific paper

Laboratory measurements of soft X-ray emissions from collisions between 36 keV O6+ ions and CO have been carried out with the aim of simulating emissions from comets interacting with the solar wind. Spectra in the range 62-155 eV are recorded and compared to results of the over-barrier model (OBM) and multichannel Landau-Zener (MLZ) calculations. Emissions from n = 3, 4 states of O5+ are observed. This is in good agreement with the OBM predictions of highest n-state for the electron capture. Line intensities for the n = 4 capture in simulated spectra using the semi-empirical MLZ approach, taking into account multielectron captures, are in very good agreement with experimental measurements. However, the OBM does not correctly account for direct feeding of the n = 3 levels for the CO target, though it does explain predominance of the n = 3 levels for an He target.
