Two-electron--one-photon transitions in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 35, no. 10, pp. 656-659
Heavy-ion--atom collisions at medium energies (approx.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 K shell followed by the emission of only one photon carrying away the total transition energy.
