Observation of a projectile charge dependence for the neon K-auger electron spectrum

Abstract

Oxygen (plus six) and (plus eight) at 30 MeV incident energy have been used to induce Auger electron spectra of Ne. The high instrumental resolution (0.02% FWHM) spectra show specifically that the charge state of the incident oxygen ion considerably affects the distribution of the K-Auger electron yield among the charge states of multiply ionized neon.
