Relativistic (e, 2e) collisions on atomic inner shells in symmetric geometry

Abstract: Abstract. We report here on an (e, 2e) experiment at relativistic electron energies (Eo = 300 keV and 500 keV) in coplanar symmetric geometry. Absolute triple differential cross section measurements for K-shell ionisation of gold, silver and copper are compared with a number of simple first order approximations. Appreciable discrepancies between theory and experiment are found, which reduce with decreasing Z and increasing primary energy. The theoretical calculations show that spin flip effects are important i… Show more

“…1a we compare a set of experimental data obtained with a gold target with results of the exact (this is, fully relativistic) first order Born theory of Sect. 2, two approximations to this theory [4,6], the Coulomb-Born theory of Jakubaßa-Amundsen [9,10] which employs nonrelativistic Coulomb scattering waves times a free electron spinor to represent all unbound electrons, and the rDWBA [13,14] where exact numerical solutions of the Dirac equation with an effective atomic potential are used. There exist drastic discrepancies in absolute magnitude between the relativistic and semirelativistic first order Born results.…”
