Single charge transfer reactions in the collision of ions at a laboratory energy of 2 keV with N 2 were observed using translational energy spectroscopy (TES). Within the limitation of the energy analyser resolution (∼ 8/ q eV, q being the ionic charge number), the translational energy spectrum shows a single broad charge transfer peak with a rich substructure. The latter looks like a conglomeration of closely spaced channels clumped together, corresponding mainly to charge transfer into excited states , rather than into the ground state. The reaction channel assignments were made using data available in the literature. Our findings are in accord with a recent experimental result, but there are no theoretical calculations to compare our experimental measurements with. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
