Abstract
It has been established that K-shell ionization probabilities in very asymmetric fast ion-atom collisions can be described well by first order perturbation theory. For the L-substates, however, impact parameter dependent ionization probabilities show severe discrepancies with these theoretical approaches. From the L-subshell ionization probabilities, the measured impact parameter dependent L111 - alignment and δ-electron emission probabilities we can deduce that the dynamical behaviour of the electron wave function during the collision has a strong influence on the measured transition probabilities.
