K-SHELL IONIZATION OF V, CR, MN, FE, CO, NI AND CU BY 5-12 MEV CARBON-IONS

The K-shell X-rays of V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu induced by C-12 ion s were detected in the projectile energy range 5-12 MeV. From these me asurements, experimental K-shell X-ray production cross sections; K-al pha K-beta X-ray energy shifts and the K-alpha/K-beta intensity ratios are extracted and presented. Our results are compared with the experi mental data obtained previously and with the predictions of the pertur bed stationary-state approximation with energy loss, Coulomb, and rela tivistic corrections (ECPSSR theory). The role of electron transfer to the projectile have been discussed.
