We have studied one- and two-electron processes in the collision of 0.9 to 60 keV/u Ar[sup 16+] on He target using the KSU CRYEBIS facility. The cross sections for single and double captures, single ionization, and transfer ionization were measured by observing the final Ar charge states in coincidence with the recoiling He ions. Single capture (SC) is dominant and relatively independent of projectile energy. Single ionization (SI) is very small but spans the measured energies. Transfer ionization (TI) dominates the two-electron processes and slowly increases with energy. Double capture (DC) is much smaller and independent of the projectile energy. The average Q-values were also determined by measuring the momentum of the recoil ions. The average Q-values for both SC and TI were found to decrease with increasing projectile energy.
