Calculation of K-vacancy production by relativistic projectiles

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)
Cross sections for the production of K vacancies by relativistic projectiles are calculated using the plane-wave Born approximation. Electronic 1s and continuum states are represented using semirelativistic Darwin wave functions. The calculated cross sections are in good agreement with measurements using 4.88-GeV protons, and also very high-energy (50--900-MeV) electrons. Simple formulas are given to calculate the cross section for projectile energies greater than approx. 3Mc/sup 2/.
