The Distorted-Wave Born Approach for Calculating Electron-Impact Ionization of Molecules

Figure 2

FDCS for electron impact ionization of H₂ for equal final state energies 𝐸_𝑎=𝐸_𝑏=10 eV with various values of the angle 𝜓 (the angle 𝜓 is the angle between the beam direction and detection plane) as a function of the angle between the outgoing electrons. The experiment results are compared with TDCC (dotted-dashed line), M3DW with CP (solid line), and M3DW with no CP (dashed line) calculations, where CP is correlation-polarization potential. The experimental and theoretical calculations are normalized to unity at the experimental maximum at 𝜓 = 90∘.
