Single and double K-shell vacancies in Li-like ions colliding with neutral helium target have been investigated using high-resolution Auger projectile spectroscopy. Be+, B2+, C3+, and O5+ Li-like ions were produced and accelerated to intermediate-to-high collision velocities where perturbative models are expected to be valid, using the Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at Western Michigan University. Double-K-shell vacancies in atomic systems or so-called “ hollow ions” can be induced by different mechanism in ion-atom collisions. For intermediate-to-high velocity collisions where the collision time is small, the projectile ion can interact with only one of …
