Doubly differential cross sections, in angle and energy, for state-selective single-electron capture from He and Ar by Ar[sup [ital q]+] ions have been studied experimentally at laboratory impact energies between 25[ital q] and 100[ital q] eV ([ital q]=4 and 5, where [ital q] is the ion charge state) and scattering angles between 0[degree] and 5[degree], by means of translational energy-gain spectroscopy. The translational energy-gain spectra show that only a few final states were selectively populated depending on the charge state of the projectile, ionization potential of the target, and weakly on the impact energy. A resonable description of the populated final states is described qualitatively in terms of the reaction windows, which are calculated using a multichannel Landau-Zener model. The general features of the differential cross sections are discussed in terms of a semiclassical curve-crossing model.
