Post-Prior discrepancies in CDW-EIS calculations for ion impact ionization fully differential cross sections
In this work we present fully differential cross sections (FDCSs)
calculations using post and prior version of CDW--EIS theory for helium single
ionization by 100 MeV C amu and 3.6 MeV amu Au and
Au ions. We performed our calculations for different momentum transfer
and ejected electron energies. The influence of internuclear potential on the
ejected electron spectra is taken into account in all cases. We compare our
calculations with absolute experimental measurements. It is shown that prior
version calculations give better agreement with experiments in almost all
studied cases.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
A Self-Consistent Model for Positronium Formation from Helium Atoms
The differential and total cross sections for electron capture by positrons
from helium atoms are calculated using a first-order distorted wave theory
satisfying the Coulomb boundary conditions. In this formalism a parametric
potential is used to describe the electron screening in a consistent and
realistic manner. The present procedure is self consistent because (i) it
satisfies the correct boundary conditions and post-prior symmetry, and (ii) the
potential and the electron binding energies appearing in the transition
amplitude are consistent with the wave functions describing the collision
system. The results are compared with the other theories and with the available
experimental measurements. At the considered range of collision energies, the
results agree reasonably well with recent experiments and theories.
