The electron transfer mechanism was investigated for the single-electron-capture process in 3-keV/u ArAr8+ -He collisions with cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy. The different state-selective electron capture processes were identified for one 1 s electron of He capture into 4 s, 4 p, 4 d - 4 f, and 5 s - 5 p states of ArAr8+. We observed that 1 s to 4 s capture mainly happens at small transverse recoil ion momentum, while 1 s to 4 p capture mainly happens at large transverse recoil ion momentum. By comparing the measured projectile scattering angle distributions to the theoretical calculations, it is suggested that 1 s to 4 s and 1 s to 4 p state-selective capture processes are mainly caused by radial and rotational coupling effects, respectively, and the 4 p ± 1 quantum states are preferred.
