Abstract

Electrons emitted in heavy-ion collisions of oxygen and sulfur projectiles with heavy targets were measured. Electron energies up to five times the K-shell binding energy of the target atom were observed. The high-energy part can be explained well within the framework of the Born approximation using relativistic electron wave functions for the united atoms. It is argued that the high-energy shape of the spectra is directly related to the form factor of inner shell electrons of the united atoms.
