Abstract: | The fivefold differential cross section (5DCS) of the ionisation by electron impact of atomic sodium is determined theoretically
for its fundamental 3s(2
S) state and the excited 3p(2
P) and 3d(2
D) states by a procedure which employs in the transition matrix element of the first order Born approximation, the correlated
double continuum (3C) wave function. This permits us to determine the statistical M-state population and the orientation and alignment tensors in (e,2e) detection. It is also shown that, the use of Gamow correlation term, in the independent particle (2C) model, reproduces,
only in some situations, the shape of the angular distribution of the 5DCS obtained by the (3C) wave function.
