Multiple ionization of iodine for 2.5-5.0 MeV I22+ ions impacting on Fe target.

The L-shell X-ray emissions of iodine are investigated as a function of the incident energy for I22+ ions impacting on Fe target in the energy region near the Bohr velocity. Six distinct L-subshell X-rays, Lι, Lα1, 2, Lß1, 3, 4, Lß2, 15, Lγ1 and Lγ2, 3, 4, 4', are observed. Compared to the atomic data, the energy of the experimental X ray shifts to the higher energy side. The relative intensity ratios of Lι, Lß1, 3, 4, Lß2, 15, to Lα1, 2, Lι to Lß2, 15 and Lγ2, 3, 4, 4/ to Lγ1 are enhanced, but has no obvious change with the increase of projectile energy in the present energy region. That is interpreted by the multiple ionization effect of the M-, N- and O-shell electrons.
