Investigation of the Closure and Simplified Green's Function Approximations in Second-Order Distorted-Wave Calculations for the (e, 2e) Processes
Abstract
Triple-differential cross sections for electron impact ionization of helium at 102 eV are presented for both coplanar and perpendicular plane asymmetric geometries within the framework of second-order distorted-wave theory. The closure approximation and the simplified Green's function approximation, which are currently used in the evaluation of the second-order amplitudes, are investigated and the accuracy of the approximations is examined. It is found that second-order effects are significant for this incident energy and the simplified Green's function approximation is generally more valid than the closure approximation.
