Theory of K/sup n/L/sup v/ multiple vacancy production by heavy ions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6236394
Observation of intensities of K/sub ..cap alpha../ x-ray or Auger satellites and hyper-satellites together with fluorescence yields provides knowledge of KL/sup v/ and K/sup 2/l/sup v/ vacancy distributions produced by ion-atom collisions. The traditional theory used since approx. 1972 employs a single-particle model and a weak-coupling ionization approximation. We review our recent extensions of the theory to include Paul correlations in the independent Fermi particle model, a unitary collision theory in the first Magnus and coupled-channels approximations, electron transfer to the projectile, and contributions from shakeoff which interfere with the collision-induced amplitudes.
