Abstract
We analyze the recoil-to-binary peak ratio in an energetic (e,2e) reaction on the valence ns sub-shell of noble gas atoms. Dramatic qualitative change in this ratio dependence on the ejected electron energy can be explained by variation of reflectivity of the short-range Hartree-Fock potential. The reflectivity increases profoundly from lighter (He) to heavier (Ne and Ar) noble gas atoms because of modification of the scattering phases due to occupation of the target p orbitals (Levinson theorem). This effect is further modified due to strong inter-shell correlations in Ar. These theoretical predictions are confirmed experimentally.
