The probabilities of atomic excitation and ionization as the result of K‐shell and L‐subshell vacancy production have been calculated relativistically by the use of the Dirac–Fock–Slater wavefunctions in the sudden approximation. The results indicate that the ionization process is dominant for inner‐shell electrons, whereas the excitation process becomes important for outer shells. Comparison with other theoretical calculations and with the experimental data is made. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
