Sharing ofKvacancies in heavy-ion-atom collisions

Abstract
The production of K vacancies has been measured for target and projectile atoms in Ne-Al and Ar-Al, -Cl, -Ti, -Cr, -Fe, -Ni collisions at energies ranging from 0.75 to 16 MeV. The results have been examined in terms of the K-vacancy-sharing theory of Meyerhof. Agreement between theory and experiment is generally good, although there is some indication of deviations at low energies.
