Abstract
Neon ions in either their ground state or an excited state collide with the molecules of an N2 gas-target. The collisional configuration-rearrangement is observed from theK- x-ray spectrum. A multistate model allowing for population and depopulation of the excited states with equal strength describes qualitatively the x-ray yield as a function of the target pressure.
