Abstract
The Auger-electron production cross sections of fluorine produced in collisions with thin helium- and neon-gas targets were obtained for incident fluorine ions of charge states to and incident energies of 6, 9, 12, and 15 MeV. The cross sections were measured with an electrostatic cylindrical mirror electron analyzer. The Auger transitions for the lower-charge states are from fluorine states created by ionization and excitation, but, for , are from fluorine states created primarily by excitation. For the higher-charge states , single and double electron capture to excited states lead to the creation of autoionizing fluorine states.
