Absolute state-selective electron-capture cross sections for charge transfer into the 3{ital l} state of C{sup 3+} in collisions of C{sup 4+} on H and H{sub 2} have been measured in the impact energy range of 0.05--1.33 keV/amu. The low-energy beams have been produced by retarding a 1.33-keV/amu C{sup 4+} beam (16 keV) by means of a five-element electrostatic lens system. The experimental results are compared with calculations based on molecular and atomic basis-set expansions. It turns out that especially for energies below 200 eV/amu there are considerable differences between experiment and theory both in relative and absolute 3{ital l} state-selective cross sections.
