K-vacancy production probabilities Pro(b) were measured with gas and solid targets by K-x-ray particle coincidences (impact parameter b is determined by the particle the PK(b) from solid targets are strongly influenced by a multiple collision effect, where projectile L-vacancies seem to be produced in collisions before K-vacancy production. However, this effect cannot be understood just by a two collision process where Lvacancy production and 2p~-2pa rotational coupling occurs in consecutive collisions.
