Slow (E{sub kin}=4keV) highly charged Ar{sup q+} (6{le}q{le}13) ions were incident at 25{degree} on a Au(111) single crystal surface. The ions scattered at an angle of 75{degree} were analyzed in energy and charge state. When electrons are removed from the L-shell (q{ge}9) of the incoming Ar ion the yield of multiply charged scattered ions (MCSI) increases by about 3 orders of magnitude. The yield of MCSI increases monotonously with an increasing number of initial L-shell vacancies. The experimental results are compared with and interpreted by a model calculation including a side-feeding process into Ar inner shells, recapture to the surface and Auger transitions after the ion-surface interaction. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
