Possible reactant-product combinations for the CE collision between a beam ion with voltage Vb and a stagnant background neutral. As discussed in Reference 12, momentum transfer collisions are evidenced by monotonically decaying tails on the ion voltage distributions, while CE collisions are represented by "bump-on-tail" types of distributions. The measured ion voltage distributions near centerline at 0.5 m seem to be very consistent with a momentum-transfer elastic collision analysis between plume beam ions. A discussion of these momentum transfer collisions can be found in References 6 and 12. This paper concentrates on the appearance of CE collision signatures within the ion voltage distributions. Many of the measured ion voltage distributions exhibit a "bump on tail" shape, where the voltage of the bump maximum is exactly twice the most probable voltage of the distribution. This can be seen, for example, by examining Figure 5: denoting Vb as the most probable beam voltage, Vb = 235 V at 90 degrees with the bump occurring at V =
14 V. From Table 2 and Table 3 the possible reactions creating products with a voltage of twice the main beam voltage are (1) the CE collision between a Xe
