A quasi-relativistic distorted-wave approximation is developed to investigate the direct electron-impact ionization processes, in which the configuration interactions are considered in the initial andfinalstates of target. As an example, the direct detailed-level electron-impact ionization cross sections for the ground and low excited states of Ar6+(3s2, 3p2, 3s3d) are calculated in the energy range from 1.02 to 15Ith (Ith the ionization threshold). Comparison with the available data demonstrates that our results are reasonable. The effects of configuration interactions are discussed, and the validity of transformation principles by statistical weights between configuration-averaged and detailed-level electron-impact ionization cross sections is analysed.
