Description

A molecular three-continuum-type approximation is developed to study the (e,2e) reaction for H2 targets. The molecular nature of the target is treated within the framework of a two-effective-center approximation. The correlate motion of the particles in the final channel of the reaction is taken into account by an adequate product of Coulomb functions. Triple differential cross sections are computed. A good agreement with the available experiments is obtained
