Abstract
When a slow multiply charged ion captures electrons from a neutral target the angular distribution of the products is sensitive to the shape and participation of the potential curves involved. Models which provide adequate descriptions of total cross section data and of the final state populations in such collisions are generally less successful in dealing with the angular distributions. Using both recoil ion sources at KSU and the Oak Ridge ECR source, we have carried out a number of experiments on such angular distributions in recent years. The systems studied include partially stripped first-row elements on He, Ar+6 on He, O+2 on He and Ar+5 on D2. In this paper we review some of the results of these experiments.
