The (e,2e) cross-section for transitions to the n = 2 final state of He+ and the 2sσg, final state of [Formula: see text] have been measured, relative to the cross-section for the transitions to the respective ground state ions, using a highly sensitive momentum dispersive multichannel electron momentum spectrometer. The experimental results for He are compared with plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) cross-section calculations carried out using two previously published GI wavefunctions and also with two cross-section calculations based on explicitly correlated wavefunctions with energy errors of less than 10 nHartree. The H2 results are compared with calculations by J.W. Liu and V.H. Smith Jr. (Phys. Rev. A, 31, 3003 (1985); erratum: Phys. Rev. A, 39, 3703 (1989)). For both He and H2, significant differences are observed between the measured relative cross-sections and those calculated using the PWIA. While the measurements for He differ from previous work, the results for H2 are consistent with some earlier measurements.

In the framework of the diagrammatic approach, the total cross section of near-threshold π– photoproduction on the deuteron is calculated. Contributions of the diagrams corresponding to the plane wave impulse approximation as well as to NN- and πN-interactions in the final state have been taken into account. We have compared the theoretical predictions with the results of the recent measurements performed at the MAX IV laboratory of the Lund University. There is good agreement with the data at photon energies from 147 to 155 MeV. However, at 158 and 160 MeV, the theoretical predictions significantly overestimate the measured cross sections.

We present an overview of the SAID group effort to analyze new γn → π-p cross sections vs. the world database to get new multipoles and determine neutron electromagnetic couplings. The differential cross section for the processes γn → π-p was extracted from new measurements at CLAS and MAMI-B accounting for Fermi motion effects in the impulse approximation (IA) as well as NN- and πN-FSI effects beyond the IA. We evaluated results of several pion photoproduction analyses and compared πN PWA results as a constraint for analyses of pion photoproduction data (Watson's theorem).

For sufficiently high electron energies (greater than a few hundred eV) and sufficiently low recoil momenta Oess than a few atomic units) the differential cross section for the non-coplanar symmetric (e,2e) reaction on an atom or molecule depends on the target and ion structure only through the target-ion overlap. Experimental criteria for the energy and momentum are that the apparent structure information does not change when the energy and momentum are varied. The plane-wave impulse approximation is a sufficient description of the reaction mechanism for determining spherically averaged squares of momentum-space orbitals for atoms and molecules and for coefficients describing initial- and final-state correlations. For mainly uncorrelated initial states, spectroscopic factors for final states belonging to the same manifold are uniquely determined. For molecules, summed spectroscopic factors can be compared for different ion manifolds. For atoms, summed spectroscopic factors and higher-momentum profiles require the dist~rted-wave impulse approximation.

Electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) studies of the valence shells of [1.1.1]propellane, 1,3-butadiene, ethylene oxide and cubane are reviewed. Binding energy spectra were measured in the energy regime of 3·5–46·5 eV over a range of different target electron momenta, so that momentum distributions (MDs) could be determined for each ion state. Each experimental electron momentum distribution is compared with those calculated in the plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) using both a triple-? plus polarisation level self-consistent field (SCF) wave function and a further range of basis sets as calculated using density functional theory (DFT). A critical comparison between the experimental and theoretical momentum distributions allows us to determine the ‘optimum’ wave function for each molecule from the basis sets we studied. This ‘optimum’ wave function then allows us to investigate chemically or biologically significant molecular properties of these molecules. EMS-DFT also shows promise in elucidating the character of molecular orbitals and the hybridisation state of atoms.

Binding energy spectra for the main line, satellite lines and associated double ionization continuum for argon 3s and xenon 5s photoionisation have been measured in the photon energy range 60-130 eV using monochromatised synchrotron radiation and magic angle photoelectron spectroscopy. In particular the ratio of satellite to main line intensities has been investigated and compared with the results of earlier experiments using X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy as well as with recent measurements by electron momentum [i.e. binary (e,2e)] spectroscopy. The results of the presently reported photoelectron measurements show that the satellite intensity relative to that of the main ns -1 line increases with increasing photon energy and approaches the value given by electron momentum spectroscopy. These findings are contrary to predictions based on recent calculations of photoelectron intensities. The present work lends support to the direct interpretation of satellite intensities (pole strengths or spectroscopic factors) in binary� (e, 2e) spectroscopy using the plane wave impulse approximation. The need for improved calculations of photoionisation intensities as well as further photoelectron measurements in the X-ray region is stressed.

We employ a numerical inverse method of extracting the target-ion overlap, or normalised Dyson orbital, directly from experimental electron momentum spectroscopy data by using a quantum- mechanically constrained statistical fitting procedure. This method is used in conjunction with the previously verified, for molecular targets, plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) reaction model. The present procedure was applied to previously measured momentum distributions (MDs) for the 2e′ and 1e′ valence orbitals of cyclopropane, the 7ag orbital of trans 1,3-butadiene, the 2e orbital of 1,2-propadiene and the 3a′1 orbital of [1.1.1]propellane. We note that this is the first extensive application of the present method to organic molecular systems. In each case the derived normalised Dyson orbital provided a superior representation of the experimental MD than did the corresponding Hartree-Fock orbital. The ramifications of this result are discussed in the text.

Abstract We demonstrate how to efficiently expand cross sections for color-singlet production at hadron colliders around the kinematic limit of all final state radiation being collinear to one of the incoming hadrons. This expansion is systematically improvable and applicable to a large class of physical observables. We demonstrate the viability of this technique by obtaining the first two terms in the collinear expansion of the rapidity distribution of the gluon fusion Higgs boson production cross section at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) in QCD perturbation theory. Furthermore, we illustrate how this technique is used to extract universal building blocks of scattering cross section like the N-jettiness and transverse momentum beam function at NNLO.

The nuclear isotopic structure can be understood easily via the intermediate-energy charge exchange reactions of (p, n) and [Formula: see text]He, [Formula: see text] type. In the current contribution, we present some results for charge exchange reactions induced by 3He on targets lying in mass region [Formula: see text] within the theoretical framework of plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) and distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA). Here, the recoil effects in PWIA have also been considered. Particularly, the angular distributions and the unit cross-sections have been calculated and compared with the available data. Further, the importance of inclusion of the exchange contribution in these reactions is also considered, which eventually enhance the matching with data.

Measurements of electron drift velocities have been made in 1�160% and 2�892% hydrogen-neon mixtures at 294 K and values of EI N from 0�12 to 1�7 Td. The measurements are highly sensitive to the region of the threshold of the v = 0 → 1 vibrational excitation cross section for hydrogen and have enabled more definitive tests of proposed cross sections to be made than was possible using drift velocity data for H2−He and H2−Ar mixtures. The theoretical v = 0 → 1 vibrational excitation cross section of Morrison et al. (1987) is shown to be incompatible with the present measurements. A new set of hydrogen cross sections has been derived from the available electron swarm measurements in pure hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures.
