Structure of the triply differential cross section in the recoil region in relativistic electron-impact ionization: I. Experiment

K.-H. Besch, M. Sauter, W. Nakel

Abstract

We report here on an (e, 2e) measurement at relativistic electron energy (300 keV) on the K shell of copper . Using coplanar asymmetric kinematics the angular distribution of the relative triply differential cross section was measured and is compared with a calculation using relativistic distorted-wave Born approximation. We find a distinct structure in the recoil region which is in reasonable agreement with the theoretical data.
