Popis: Radiative Auger emission (RAE) from lithiumlike20Ca17+ projectiles excited in collisions with He has been measured. The intensity of RAE photons relative to Kα x-ray emission is enhanced by a factor of 10 – 17 compared with theoretical calculations for ions with few electron vacancies. The enhancement of RAE for Ca17+ is consistent with the results reported previously for lithiumlike16S13+ and23V20+ and indicates a systematic dependence on Z. Both the enhancement and the relative RAE transition rate increase with Z.
