Abstract
A Monte-Carlo technique is used to calculate vacancy cascades in neutr al xenon atoms and in q-fold ionized Xeq+ ions (0 less than or equal t o q less than or equal to 50) in the energy ground state with one addi tional K vacancy. Probabilities P(k) that the remaining ion is k-fold ionized after the deexcitation of a primary K-shell vacancy are calcul ated. The dependence of the actual P(k) values on the atomic structure is discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
