Abstract
Heavy-ion-atom collisions at medium energies (∼0.8 MeV/amu) yield a considerable probability for multiple inner-shell ionization. In the Ni-Ni, Ni-Fe, Fe-Ni, and Fe-Fe cases, distinct lines in the x-ray spectra are observed, which must be interpreted as a correlated two-electron jump into the doubly ionized shell followed by the emission of only one photon carrying away the total transition energy.
