Polarization degrees of lines emitted by Kr7+ excited ions produced by single-electron capture during Kr8++Li(2s) collisions were experimentally measured for projectile energies between 0.1 and 2.5 keV amu-1. They were compared with theoretical polarization degrees obtained from nlml distributions calculated by using the classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) method; radiative cascades have been included in the calculations. The fair agreement between experimental and calculated polarization degrees confirms the reliability of the CTMC method and allows one to analyze the ml distributions in terms of dynamical couplings responsible for the state-selective electron capture process.
