High-accuracy Compton profile of molecular hydrogen from explicitly correlated Gaussian wave function

  • 1. Quantum Chemistry Laboratory, University of Warsaw, Pasteura 1, 02-093 Warsaw, Poland

Description

The electron momentum distribution for molecular hydrogen is calculated from an explicitly correlated Gaussian wave function corresponding to the total energy of -1.174 42 a.u. and accounting for 99.9% of the correlation energy. The high-accuracy Compton profile obtained confirms the results of recent high-energy electron-impact spectroscopy measurements of Lee, but disagrees in the region of very small momentum with earlier x-ray Compton-scattering data
