Ion-X-Ray Coincidence Experiments in SlowNe+-Ne Collisions

Abstract
Ne+ ions of 235 and 363 keV primary energy are scattered from a dilute Ne gas target. Ne K x rays excited in these collisions are detected in coincidence with ions scattered through laboratory angles ranging from 3 to 36°. The impact-parameter dependence of inner-shell excitation thus derived matches well with the Briggs-Macek theory.
