Description

We have calculated fivefold differential cross sections (FDCS) for the double ionization of He by electron and positron impact at the incident energy of 601 eV. The calculation is based on the Glauber approximation (GA) method which includes projectile-target correlation in the initial state and has contributions from higher order. A comparison is made of the present FDCS with the corresponding results of other theoretical calculations and experiment. It is found that there is a significant difference between positron- and electron-impact cross sections at this low incident energy. The shape of present FDCS is found to be in qualitative agreement with experiment
