Dipole and nondipole photoionization of molecular hydrogen

Journal Article · · Physical Review. A
We describe a theoretical approach to molecular photoionization that includes first-order corrections to the dipole approximation. The theoretical formalism is presented and applied to photoionization of H-2 over the 20-to 180-eV photon energy range. The angle-integrated cross section sigma, the electric dipole anisotropy parameter beta(e), the molecular alignment anisotropy parameter beta(m), and the first-order nondipole asymmetry parameters gamma and delta were calculated within the single-channel, static-exchange approximation. The calculated parameters are compared with previous measurements of sigma and beta(m) and the present measurements of beta(e) and gamma + 3 delta. The dipole and nondipole angular distribution parameters were determined simultaneously using an efficient, multiangle measurement technique. Good overall agreement is observed between the magnitudes and spectral variations of the calculated and measured parameters. The nondipole asymmetries of He 1s and Ne 2p photoelectrons were also measured in the course of this work.
