SCA CALCULATIONS OF THE INNER-SHELL IONIZATION WITH DIRAC-FOCK ELECTRONIC WAVE-FUNCTIONS

The theory of inner shell ionization for arbitrary atomic shells is re viewed. Emphasis is on L- and M-shells in order to show how the proper screening formalism entering the electronic form factor affects the i onization probabilities. The radial wavefunctions in the form factor a re computed as relativistic Hartree-Fock orbitals for both bound and c ontinuum states. The continuum orbitals were evaluated in the V(N - 1) potenial with correct exchange. These results are then compared with the previous ones using screened hydrogen-like wavefunctions and also with the experimental data in some cases.
