Projectile K-Auger electron production measurements were performed for the bare, one, and two electron ions of C, N, O, and F incident on He, Ne, Ar, and Kr gases. The measurements were taken over an energy range of 1/4 to 2/3 MeV/amu using a cylindrical mirror analyzer. For the incident two electron ions, single electron capture to excited states of the (1s2s)/sup 3/S metastable component of the incident beam was the principal mechanism giving rise to the observed K-Auger transitions. For the bare and one electron ions, double electron capture to excited states was the dominant mechanism leading to K-Auger electron production. In addition to Auger spectroscopy measurements, total K-Auger production cross sections were determined as well as the partial cross sections for electron capture to specific n-levels of the projectile. The n-distribution for single electron capture was observed to follow a 1/n/sup 3/ dependence. The n-distributions were also measured for double electron capture to excited states of the bare and one electron ions.
