Abstract

We present a comparative picture of the (e, 3e) process on H-,He and Li+. These three targets have isoelectronicstructure with increasing nuclear Coulomb interaction. Thestudy has been done at high incident energy, E0≈5.6 keV, very small scattering angle and low ejected electronenergies. The actual scattering angle is adjusted so that themomentum transfer and the energies of the ejected electrons are thesame in all three cases. The result is that the finalstates are identical except for the charge on the bare nucleus. Thevalue of the momentum transfer relative to the reciprocal ofthe atomic size is found to profoundly affect the angulardistribution of the five-fold differential cross section.
