Brandt, D

In the resonant (charge) transfer and excitation (RTE) process, resonance states in the charge-changed projectile are formed due to Coulomb interaction with the target electrons. The calculated RTE cross section is proportional to the cross section for dielectronic recombination and its projectile energy dependence reflects the momentum distribution of the target electrons. Sample calculations for K x-ray production in Si/sup 11 +/+He, S/sup 13 +/+Ar, and S/sup 13 +/+He collisions are discussed. An estimate of the experimental background indicates that RTE is more pronounced in collisions with light targets.
