Abstract

The study of (e,2e) processes on Helium at impact energies of 100eV and below has yielded a wealth of experimental data and has contributed greatly to the understanding of the Coulomb few body problem. The great advantage of coincidence measurements is that one can manipulate the geometry of the experiment to study delicate processes which yield striking structures in a particular arrangement, but are largely masked by stronger effects in virtually all other setups. Quite recently Murray1 identified a very strong structure in the ionization of Helium at an impact energy of 64.6eV in a very specific out of plane geometry. In this paper we will show that this structure is well represented in a Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) calculation and we will interpret it as an interference, that is to say a pure quantum, effect. We predict that similar structures will be present in the Triple Differential Cross Section (TDCS) for some targets but not for others.
