“…The universal numerical tables of the PWBA cross sections have been published for K shell, 2-4 L subshells, [3][4][5] and M subshells. 6 When the projectile energy is low, the simple first-order Born theories become invalid and various effects neglected in the PWBA play an important role in the inner-shell ionization processes: (1) the increase in the binding energy of the tar-get electron due to presence of the projectile, (2) the Coulomb deflection of the projectile in the field of the target nucleus, (3) the polarization of the wave function of the target electron by the projectile, (4) the energy loss of the projectile during ionization, and (5) the relativistic effect on the target electron wave function. Brandt and Lapicki 7 incorporated these effects into the PWBA and developed the so-called ECPSSR theory, 8 which accounts for the energy-loss effect (E), the Coulomb-deflection effect (C), the binding-energy and polarization effects in the perturbed-stationary-state method (PSS), and the electronic relativistic effect (R).…”
