Abstract
Experimental data for single, double and triple ionization of Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe by 30 - 1000 keV antiproton impact are presented and compared with existing proton data. It is found that the current phenomenological understanding of ionization developed from studies of light targets generally apply to heavy atomic targets as well. Inner-shell ionization followed by Auger decay is found to be an important channel for multiple ionization of the heaviest targets, and the projectile charge dependence of their multiple ionization cross sections must be understood as stemming from the underlying inner-shell ionization cross sections.
