FULL-SCALE RELATIVISTIC AB-INITIO TIME-DEPENDENT CALCULATIONS FOR THEL-K VACANCY TRANSFER IN 208 MEV NI23+ ON A GE SOLID TARGET

We present full scale ab initio relativistic calculations for the L-K vacancy transfer in collisions of 208 MeV Ni23+ on a Ge solid target. Our Dirac-Fock-Slater method allows us to achieve a very accurate quan titative explanation for the experimental impact parameter-dependent v acancy probabilities in terms of dynamic creation and annihilation of Ni n = 2 shell vacancies.
