Mechanisms for production of single and double K-shell vacancies in atomic Li, produced by 60.5 MeV/u Kr34+ projectiles, have been investigated. Spectra for high-resolution Auger electron emission, occuring in the energy range 50-90 eV and resulting from the deexcitation of singly- or doubly-excited states, were measured for various electron emission angles. Double K-vacancy production by ion impact is generally attributed to two mechanisms, which are governed either by two independent nucleus-electron interactions or by electron correlation. These mechanisms depend differently on the perturbation parameter Z/v (Z and v are the projectile charge and velocity, respectively). Since Z/v for 60.5 MeV/u Kr34+ is larger by about a factor of 2 than that for 95 MeV/u Ar18+ ions which were used previously [1], the relative importance of the uncorrelated mechanism is expected to be enhanced when operating with Kr34+ ions. Compared to the case of 95 MeV/u Ar18+ projectiles, the relative line intensities attributed to the 2ln’l’ P states (n’ >= 2) have been observed to increase significantly when using 60.5 MeV/u Kr34+ projectiles. The comparison between the spectra obtained with Ar18+ and Kr34+ provide substantial information on mechanisms responsible for production of the double K-shell vacancies in lithium.
