Abstract

K-vacancy production probabilities in elastic 7.5- and 8.6-MeV/a.m.u. U+U collisions are reported for impact parameters less than 15 fm. In 7.5-MeV/a.m.u. U+U collisions the ionization probability rises above the trend indicated by larger impact parameter measurements, increasing to 1.8 vacancies per collision at the smallest impact parameter. The measured probabilities for 8.6-MeV/a.m.u. collisions increase to a maximum value of slightly less than 2 vacancies per collision at the smallest impact parameters. The data is compared to previous results and existing theory.
