We have measured projectile Auger electrons emitted after collisions ofH-like F with H/sub 2/. The cross sections for emission of /ital KLL/,/ital KLM/, /ital KLN/, and /ital KLO/ Auger electrons show maxima as a functionof the projectile energy. One maximum in the /ital KLL/ emission cross sectionis due to resonant transfer and excitation. A second maximum in the crosssection for /ital KLL/ emission as well as the maxima in the emission crosssection for the higher-/ital n/ Auger electrons are attributed to a new transferand excitation process. This involves excitation of a projectile electron byone target electron accompanied by the capture of a second target electron.
