K -shell Auger-electron hypersatellites of Ne

Journal Article · · Physical Review, A (General Physics)
The cross section for production of excited Ne ions with double K-shell vacancies is measured by observing the Auger electrons from the decay of these states. A Ne-gas target is bombarded by 1--2-MeV/amu N, O, and F projectiles in various incident charge states. The K-shell Auger hypersatellites are observed only for bare nuclear projectiles. The projectile charge-state dependence, projectile Z dependence, and energy dependence of the cross section suggest K- shell electron exchange as a production mechanism.
