Abstract
Deexcitation of projectile inner shell vacancies created while traversing a solid foil may take place via competing processes: a) vacancy sharing with foil atoms in close impacts, b) radiative and non-radiative electron capture, and c) such X-ray and Auger electron transitions as are possible in the heavy ion projectile. The change inK-vacancy creation with foil thickness can be investigated by measuring either projectile or target X-rays where the vacancies are created by Coulomb excitation and processa. In the system Ne (10 MeV) on Al, detecting AlK X-rays, the NeK-vacancy production probability has been determined.

J., Burkhalter, P. G.: Phys.
