Abstract

Ion charge state distributions due to vacancy cascades following K-, L 1 -, L 2 -and L 3 -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. † Permanent address:

Effects of $ {K^0}-{{\overline{K}}^0} $ mixing on determining γ from B ± → DK ±

“…In this work we study the effects of CP violation in the kaon system on the determination of γ. Such effects were studied in other systems in [8][9][10][11][12][13]. As we will see, there are effects that are linear in ǫ K , and they are parametrically enhanced by 1/r B (we use standard notations that are defined below).…”
