Abstract

We have evaluated the dominant contribution of the electron correlations to the single $K$-shell ionization cross section of heliumlike atomic systems by impact of high-energy electrons. This study is performed consistently within the framework of nonrelativistic perturbation theory. The results obtained are also applicable for the case of high-energy collisions with arbitrary charged particles whose mass is much less than that of the target. The formula for cross section is represented in the form of a universal scaling. A comparison of our numerical calculations with available experimental data is made.
