Metastable Innershell Molecular State (MIMS)
We propose that the existence of Metastable Innershell Molecular State (MIMS) was experimentally discovered by Bae et al. in hypervelocity (v>100km/s) impact of nanoparticles. The decay of MIMS resulted in the observed intense soft x-rays in the range of 75 - 100 eV in agreement with Winterberg's recent prediction.
