Description

The (e,2e) cross section for electron impact ionization of the hydrogen molecule has been measured with a precision of a few percent at 400 eV incident energy. The experimental values are compared to predictions based upon a broad range of theoretical wavefunctions. Discrepancies between theory and experiment are similar to those found when comparing experimental and theoretical Compton profiles. (orig.)
