We have measured X rays from 30-MeV Cl beams on various solid targets between carbon and copper. The ratio of double K-shell to single K-shell vacancy production in Cl exhibits a broad peak near Z= 20 (Ca). This behavior is not predicted by Coulomb ionization. This peaking is examined using a molecular-orbital mechanism. To explain the results both K-shell electrons must be promoted to the vacant orbitals of the Cl beam. This is the first evidence of double K-shell promotion.
