The charge distributions and production cross sections of recoil ions accompanied by projectile electron loss and capture have been compared in 1.05-MeV/amu Ne{sup {ital q}+} ({ital q}=2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) +Ne collisions. While singly charged recoil ions are dominant in pure ionization processes, the production of highly charged recoil ions is strongly enhanced in collisions involving simultaneous charge change (by both electron loss and capture) of projectiles, and the charge distributions of recoil ions are found to be similar for both projectile loss and capture processes. These results have been analyzed with an independent-electron model and indicate that the dominant contribution to the production of higher-charge recoil ions comes from {ital L}-shell ionization, with some contribution from {ital K}-shell ionization of targets, accompanied by violent multiple ionization of projectiles.
