Second-Order Distorted Wave Calculation for Electron-Impact Ionization of Helium to He⁺ (N = 1 and 2)

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Second-order distorted wave calculations are presented for electron-impact ionization of helium with the residual ion left in the n = 1 and 2 states at intermediate energies in coplanar asymmetric geometry. Whereas previous second-order calculations have used the plane wave Born approximation and have used approximations to simplify the evaluation of the second-order term, we perform a full distorted wave calculation and make no approximations in the evaluation of the second-order amplitude (i.e. we sum over all contributing intermediate states). The triple differential cross sections are compared with experimental measurements.
