The method of zero-degree Auger spectroscopy was used to measure cross sections for the production of {ital K} and {ital L} Auger electrons by double electron capture in 60-keV C{sup 6+}+He collisions. Corresponding atomic-structure calculations were performed to determine the related Auger and x-ray transition rates. The resulting Auger yields are found to deviate significantly from unity. The Auger yields were applied to evaluate cross sections for the production of the configuration 3{ital lnl}{prime} ({ital n}=3 to 5) and 2{ital lnl}{prime} ({ital n}=3 to 8). These data are found to compare well with experimental results obtained previously for the isocharged system O{sup 6+}+He. Comparison is also made with recent calculations including the electron-electron interaction. It is shown that electron-correlation effects play a significant role for double electron capture in the studied collision system.
