Popis: Translational energy spectroscopy has been employed to study state-selective double-electron capture by 8 keV Ar 4+ in He and Ne targets, and 12 keV Ar 4+ in He. The capture spectra are dominated by reaction channels which violate spin conservation. The double capture spectra for Ar 4+ in He contain intense peaks which involve capture from the metastable quintet 5 S 0 state of Ar 4+ , recently identified in single capture spectra for Ar 4+ in He and Ne.
