[ital K]-shell excitation of F[sup 6+](1[ital s][sup 2]2[ital s]) projectile ions in collisions with H[sub 2] targets has been studied by measuring 0[degree] state-resolved Auger electron production cross sections in the projectile energy range of 0.25 to 2 MeV/u. Projectile 1[ital s][r arrow]2[ital p] excitation due to the interaction with a target electron'' (electron-electron Excitation[sup 1] [[ital ee]E]) has been observed in the production of the 1[ital s](2[ital s]2[ital p][sup 3][ital P])[sup 2][ital P][sub [minus]] and 1[ital s](2[ital s]2[ital p][sup 1][ital P])[sup 2][ital P][sub +] states as well as 1[ital s]2[ital s]2[ital p][sup 4][ital P] state above the electron impact threshold. Projectile excitation is also produced by the target nucleus (electron-nucleus Excitation [[ital en]E]) for the [sup 2][ital P][sub [plus minus]] states. The [ital ee]E and [ital en]E cross sections were evaluated by Impulse Approximation (IA) and PWBA, respectively. The total [ital KLL] Auger electron production cross sections were also determined and exhibited the overall electron-electron interaction effects of [ital ee]E and Resonant-Transfer Excitation (RTE) which, in particular, is the 1[ital s][r arrow]2[ital p] excitation with 2[ital p] capture to result in 1[ital s]2[ital s]2[ital p][sup 2] [sup 3,1][ital D] states.
