The impact-parameter dependence of the quasimolecular K x rays emitted in collisions of 10-MeV Cl/sup 16 +/ with Ar has been measured. The coincidence spectra show a clear impact-parameter--dependent structure. The results are in good agreement with dynamical calculations which take into account the interference between the 1ssigma decay amplitudes in the incoming and the outgoing halves of the trajectory.
