The spectra of electrons emitted in Ar[sup q+] on Ar (8[le]q[le]16) collisions at 2.3 qkeV were measured in the 30 to 400 eV energy range. With the exception of Ar[sup 8+] on Ar, the overall appearance of the electron spectra is quite similar, suggesting that the same mechanism is responsible for the observed features. One possible mechanism is the delocalization of the 3p and 3s target electrons during the collision. The resulting molecular state either deexcited by Auger transitions during the collision, or strands two or more electrons on the projectile in an excited state. This state in turn deexcites by Auger transitions.
