Measurements of electron detachment cross sections, reactive charge transfer, and differential elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections for Cl/sup -/, Br/sup -/, and I/sup -/ ions on CH/sub 3/I, CH/sub 3/Br, and CH/sub 3/Cl targets are reported. The energy range for the experiments is from 3 to 150 eV. Of the very large number of reaction channels open, it appears that most make significant contributions to the total cross section for sufficiently high projectile energies. The S/sub N/2 reaction, which may be dominant at lower energies, was not observed and is probably not significant above the lowest energies in this study. Surviving primary ions exhibit a broad spectrum of inelastic loss, suggesting target breakup.
