Total ionization cross sections for the highly stripped Mo ions by high-energy electron impact are estimated, including both the direct ionization of outer-shell electrons and the excitation of inner-shell electrons followed by an Auger emission. For highly stripped ions, the excitation to discrete states predominates and enhances the Auger contribution. For the Mo/sup 24 +/ ions, the Auger ionization of the L-shell electrons dominates over the direct M-shell ionization.
