Abstract

"Electron Impact ionization of atoms provides a fundamental test of the current understanding of atomic structure as well our understanding of the three body problem. The Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) has been one of the most successful theoretical approaches for studying atomic ionization particularly for heavier atoms. One of the important shortcomings of the DWBA lies in the neglect of the final state electron-electron interaction [often called the post collision interaction (PCI)] in the final state wavefunction. In this work, we have generalized the DWBA to include PCI and we have labeled the new approach 3DW"--Abstract, page iv.
