Abstract

The impact-parameter dependence of the quasimolecular $K$ x rays emitted in collisions of 10-MeV ${Cl}^{16 +}$ with Ar has been measured. The coincidence spectra show a clear impact-parameter-dependent structure. The results are in good agreement with dynamical calculations which take into account the interference between the $1 s σ$ decay amplitudes in the incoming and the outgoing halves of the trajectory.
