Ejected electron spectra from the singlet and triplet states of doubly excited Ne 6+ * * (1s 2 2pnl), Ne 6+ * * (1s 2 3l3l) and Ne 6+ * * (1s 2 3l4l) ions, produced by 80 keV Ne 8+ (1s 2) + He, Ne and Ar collisions, have been measured by means of a zero-degree electron spectroscopy. Only singlet states were observed when the target was He. In contrast, the contribution from the triplet states prevailed in the spectra for the Ne target. For the Ar target, practically no signals were observed in the energy region for the 1s 2 3lnl states. Two theoretical methods, the perturbation theory (MZ code) and the multi-configurational Hartree-Fock (Cowan code) were used for identification of ejected-electron spectra. Using the (j) string analysis in the extended classical over-barrier model, we discuss the possibility of the participation of inner electrons in the process of doubleelectron capture by highly charged ion multi-electron target atoms.
