Abstract
Based on SCA calculations with Kepler orbits and relativistic target e lectron wavefunctions, the K-shell ionization caused by the low-energy proton and antiproton impacts is studied. Procedures for simulating t he higher order effects are critically discussed. It is recommended to perform new experiments which would optimize the particular effects c onnected with antiparticle projectiles. The flatness Of SCA cross sect ions for antiprotons in the zero energy limit might be exploited in so me type of thick target experiment.
