Angular correlation in the two-electron continuum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following absorption of a single photon, angles of simultaneous emission of two electrons from a He n S atom become more correlated with increasing n. We find that the strength of this correlation is due to the two-electron continuum of the electron-impact ionization of the He+ ns ion. The strength is determined by the width of the momentum profile of the ionic ns state but not the strength of the electron correlation in the He initial state. This can explain the increasing over He angular correlation strength found in double photoionization of targets such as Be, Ne, and H2.

Extended Wannier ridge model for the electrons angular distribution
The extended Wannier model describes the propagation of two-electron wave packet along the Wannier ridge from the reaction zone (where it is formed by (y, 2e) or (e, 2e) process) to the zone of free electron motion. The angular correlation patterns are calculated and analyzed for lSe and IPo states of the two-electron continuum.
متن کاملPerturbative calculation of the triply differential cross section for photo-double-ionization of He
Single-photon, two-electron ionization of He is analyzed, taking into account electron correlation using lowest-order perturbation theory and including all individual electron angular momenta in the final two-electron continuum. Perturbative account of electron correlation in the final state, which describes the so-called TS-1 mechanism of double photoionization, combined with a variational acc...

Background: Understanding of the incident electron energy and angular distributions from clinical electron accelerators (linacs) is important for dosimetry and treatment planning. The most important goals of this study were to evaluate the energy fluence and angular distributions of electron beams from a Neptun 10PC linac using the Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: The lina...
متن کاملTime propagation of extreme two-electron wavefunctions
We develop a method for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the situation where two electrons interact in extreme circumstances. In particular, the method allows accurate representation of the wavefunction when several 10s or 100s of angular momenta are needed and the spatial region covers several 100s to 1000s of atomic units. The method is based on a discrete variable represen...
متن کاملElectron-pair excitations and the molecular Coulomb continuum.
Electron-pair excitations in the molecular hydrogen continuum are described by quantizing rotations of the momentum plane of the electron pair about the pair's relative momentum. A heliumlike description of the molecular photodouble ionization is thus extended to higher angular momenta of the electron pair. A simple three-state superposition is found to account surprisingly well for recent obse...
