He- is observed in the exit charge state distributions of He transmitted through a thin carbon foil over an energy range of 8-80 keV. The observed exit fraction of He- must be formed in the bulk foil or within several Angstroms of the exit surface and reaches a maximum of 2.6 x 10(-4) at 0.7 upsilon (0) where upsilon (0) is the Bohr velocity. The probability of forming the observed He- from its source population of He+ by two sequential electron-capture events decreases exponentially with increasing velocity. This behavior is similar to that of He transiting a Cs vapor, for which this dependence is the result of individual cross sections that collectively drive the charge-state distribution toward higher positive-charge states with increasing projectile velocity. No isotope effect in the exit charge state distributions of He-3 and He-4 is observed within experimental error.
