We have measured the recoil ion charge state distributions in Ar[sup q+]-Ar (8[le]q[le]16) collisions at 2.3 qkeV and 0.18 qkeV by time of flight (TOF) spectroscopy. For Ar[sup 8--16+], recoil ion charge states up to 6+ are clearly present, indicating that the 3p subshell in the target atom is being depleted, while for Ar[sup 10--16+], there is evidence that target 3s electrons are also being removed. Comparison of the recoil ion charge state spectra at 2.3 and 0.18 qkeV shows that for a given projectile charge, there is very little dependence of the observed recoil target state distribution on projectile energy.
