Relative (n, l) populations following electron capture by low energy N7+, O8+and Ne8+ions from two-electron targets (H2, He)

Abstract
Projectile soft X-ray spectra (1< lambda 7+, O8+ and Ne8+ on He and H2 targets have been observed. These spectra allow an evaluation of the n and l distribution of projectile excited states formed by a single electron capture. The spectra in the case of O8+ and N7+ bare projectiles show evidence on double capture processes followed by autoionisation. Good agreement is obtained with theory or alternative experimental data when available.
