Popis: Observations of resonant electron transfer and L-shell excitation (RTE) using coincidence techniques are reported for 41Nb31+ and 57La40+ ions colliding with H2. The measured RTE cross sections are about ten times larger than those previously found for RTE involving the K shell and constitute as much as half of the total L alpha beta X-ray production. Overall agreement with theory is reasonable but discrepancies similar to those previously reported for K-shell RTE exist. The results demonstrate the importance of electron correlation in the production of L vacancies for projectile energies where RTE is possible.
