The multielectron tunneling ionization probabilities have been calculated for Ar and Kr atoms in circularly polarized laser fields with the pulse durations of 50 fs and 5 fs. The channels of sequential, nonsequential ionization, and ionization with ionic core excitation (inelastic tunneling) have been taken into account. The calculated results demonstrate that many-body effects in tunneling, connected mostly with ionic core excitation, are very important for creation of Ar{sup 4+}, Ar{sup 5+}, Kr{sup 4+}, and Kr{sup 5+} ions.
