Absolute doubly differential cross sections for electron emission are presented for 0.5 MeV/u multi-charged ion impact on helium, neon, and argon targets. For the helium target, B[sup q+], C[sup q+] (q=2--5) and O[sup q+], F[sup q+] (q=3--6) projectiles were studied; for neaon and argon, only C[sup q+] (q=2--5) projectiles were used. Electron emission for 10[degree][le][Theta][le]60[degree] was studied. The measured cross sections were assumed to scale as the square of an effective projectile charge, Z[sub eff], which was determined as a function of emitted electron energy and angle. For distant collisions (low emitted electron energies), we find that Z[sub eff][approx]q for small q and Z[sub eff][lt]q for the highest values of q investigated. For sufficiently close collisions (above the binary encounter peak), Z[sub eff][gt]Z and increases as q decreases. This is true for all angles and targets investigated.
