Abstract For heavy collision systems withZ UA ≧100 the excitation mechanism for electrons in molecular orbitals from 2p 1/2 1/2 up to 3d3/2 1/2, which end up inK andL levels of the collision partners, is investigated for Iodine projectile velocityv between 1.3 and 3.7 a.u. (i.e. 6.3 MeV≦E i ≦45 MeV). For 2p 1/2 1/2 excitation a prevailing radial coupling excitation mechanism is found. In a two state approximation coupling strengths are derived for decisive isolated crossings; for the strong variation of the projectileL x-ray spectra with targetZ and impact velocity a Landau Zener type model is suggested.
