Higher-order effects in large-angle coplanar symmetric (e, 2e) processes at high energies

The triple differential cross-sections for the ionization of atomic hydrogen by fast electrons are considered in the case of a coplanar symmetric energy-sharing geometry. They are estimated in the modified Glauber (MG) approximation. It is found that MG results are significantly different from those in the second Born approximation only for 90°⩽ϑ⩽110°. Outside this range they are almost identical.
