Abstract

Calculated double differential cross sections are presented for the simultaneous ionization and excitation into the 2p state of the helium atom by fast proton and antiproton impact. We have used the semiclassical impact parameter method and the transition amplitude was calculated in second-order perturbation approximation. We have investigated the dependence of the cross sections on the sign of the projectile charge, and have analyzed the influence on the results of the inclusion of electron correlation in the initial state.
