Abstract
Ion charge state distributions due to vacancy cascades following K-, -, - and -shell ionization are calculated using a Monte Carlo technique. Probabilities P(q) that the de-excited ions become q-fold ionized after a single primary ionization are given as a function of the atomic number in the region Z = 10 - 60. The calculations are accomplished by tracing successive radiative and non-radiative transitions and electron shake-off as an additional effect. Thereby, radiative and non-radiative transition rates and shake-off probabilities have been calculated from relativistic wavefunctions.
