We present a theoretical study of the energy deposition by slow multip
ly charged ions interacting with an electron gas and its dependence on
the electronic configuration (excitation state) of the particle. Appl
ications of the results to explain experimental findings of projectile
induced electron emission and energy loss as a function of charge sta
te are also discussed.
