Symmetric (e,2e) experiments at 300 and 500 keV on Cu, Ag and AuK-shell and impulsive models
An approach to the calculation of the coplanar symmetric (e,2e) cross-section which extends the impulsive-approximation (IA) models to relativistic energy is proposed. A relativistic treatment of the kinematic...
