Abstract
The production of secondary electrons during the impact of ions on thick solid targets is described and experimental investigation is presented. The main attention is directed to Auger electron emission induced by heavy ions in the MeV range. It is shown that in this range the spectra are representative of the direct interaction between the impinging ion and the solid, so that secondary effects like sputtering or excitation by recoiled target atoms can be neglected. A comparison with the Auger emission from gases in similar systems shows the relaxation phenomena due to the solid state.
