A specially designed mass spectrometer is used to analyze the sodium ions that result from the materials at /sup -/ decay of Ne/sup 23/. The percent abundances are as follows: Na/sup 1+/ (79.1), Na/sup 2+/ (17.5), Na/sup 3+/ (2.85), Na/sup 4+/ (0.48), Na/sup 5+/ (0.081), Na/ sup 6+/ (0.006), Na/sup 7+/ (<0.002). No evidence is found that recoil energy contributes to the electron shake-off. An attempt is made to derive the charge spectrum from the assumption that electron shake-off is due to the sudden, nonadiabatic change in nuclear charge. Multiple electron shake-off is computed from the product of the probabilities for single electron shake-off. The probabilities for single electron shake-off are semiempirically calculated. In general, the calculated values agree well with the experimental data, though the computations underestimate the abundances of the more highly charged ions. (auth)
