The charge spectrum of the Li/sup 6/ ions formed following the BETA - decay of He/sup 6/ has been measured as a function of their recoil energy by means of a specially designed mass spectrometer. The analysis is as follows: charge 1 (89.6 plus or minus 0.2)%; charge 2 (10.4 plus or minus 0.2)% of which (0.3l plus or minus 0.05)% is dependent on recoil energy; charge 3 (0.042 plus or minus 0.007)% of which (0.024 plus or minus 0.009)% is dependent on recoil energy. Comparison with theory shows that electron shake off results primarily from excitation by the sudden nonadiabatic change in nuclear charge. An expression is given for describing the simultaneous excitations from the sudden changes in nuclear charge and velocity. (auth)
