Abstract: | Electron Compton scattering effects usually lead to the determination of momentum densities in atoms and molecules by cross-section measurements on scattered electrons. Similar information is also shown to be directly available from the study of ejected electrons. The proposed treatment results from a simple alteration of the impulse assumptions and appears to give a satisfactory representation of ejected profiles for medium and high energy electron scattering. Preliminary investigations are discussed here for hydrogen and helium atoms. |
