Abstract

Following absorption of a single photon, angles of simultaneous emission of two electrons from a He(n {sup 1}S) atom become more correlated with increasing n. We find that the strength of this correlation is due to the two-electron continuum of the electron-impact ionization of the He{sup +}(ns) ion. The strength is determined by the width of the momentum profile of the ionic ns state but not the strength of the electron correlation in the He initial state. This can explain the increasing (over He) angular correlation strength found in double photoionization of targets such as Be, Ne, and H{sub 2}.

Lensing corrections to features in the angular two-point correlation function and power spectrum

Journal Article LoVerde, Marilena ; Department of Physics, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027 ; Hui, Lam ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

It is well known that magnification bias, the modulation of galaxy or quasar source counts by gravitational lensing, can change the observed angular correlation function. We investigate magnification-induced changes to the shape of the observed correlation function w({theta}), and the angular power spectrum C{sub l}, paying special attention to the matter-radiation equality peak and the baryon wiggles. Lensing effectively mixes the correlation function of the source galaxies with that of the matter correlation at the lower redshifts of the lenses distorting the observed correlation function. We quantify how the lensing corrections depend on the width of the selection function, themore »« less

ISOTROPY IN THE TWO-POINT ANGULAR CORRELATION FUNCTION OF THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND

Journal Article Zhang, Sophie, E-mail: sophz@umich.edu - Astrophysical Journal Letters

We study the directional dependence of the angular two-point correlation function in maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We propose two new statistics: one which measures the correlation of each point in the sky with a ring of points separated an angle {theta} away, and a second one that measures the missing angular correlation above 60 deg as a function of direction. Using these statistics, we find that most of the low power in cut-sky maps measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe experiment comes from unusually low contributions from the directions of the lobes of the quadrupole andmore »« less

The source-sample stage of the new two-dimensional angular correlation of annihilation radiation spectrometer at Technische Universitaet Muenchen

Journal Article Ceeh, Hubert ; Weber, Josef Andreas ; Boeni, Peter ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Angular correlation of annihilation radiation (ACAR) is a well established technique for the investigation of the electronic structure. A major limitation of ACAR studies is the available positron flux at a small spot on the sample. For this reason, the focus of this work is put on the discussion of a newly developed source-sample stage of the new 2D-ACAR spectrometer at Technische Universitaet Muenchen which uses an optimized static magnetic field configuration to guide the positrons onto the sample. The achieved spot diameter is d{sub FWHM}= 5.4 mm, with a high efficiency over the whole energy spectrum of the {supmore »« less

Nonthermal effects on the Wannier threshold law for the correlated two-electron continuum in Lorentizan plasmas

Journal Article Ki, Dae-Han ; Jung, Young-Dae ; Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 110 Eighth Street, Troy, New York 12180-3590 - Physics of Plasmas

The nonthermal effects on the Wannier threshold law for the correlated two-electron continuum near the ionization threshold are investigated in nonthermal generalized Lorentzian plasmas. The screened renormalized electron charge and Wannier exponent for the ionization cross section are obtained in the Wannier ridge as functions of the spectral index, Debye length, and charge of the residual ion. It is found that the nonthermal effect strongly reduces the renormalized electron charge, especially in the intermediate distance domain. Hence, we have found that the renormalized electron charge in Lorentzian plasmas is always smaller than that in Maxwellian plasmas. It is also foundmore »« less

Electron-correlation effects in the angular distribution of photoelectrons from Kr investigated by rotating the polarization axis of undulator radiation

Journal Article Godehusen, Kai ; Mertins, Hans-Christoph ; Richter, Tobias ; ... - Physical Review. A

The angular anisotropy parameter {beta} for the 3p and 3d photoionization of krypton was investigated in the photon energy range from 325 eV to 1000 eV. Using the new UE52 undulator at the BESSY II storage ring the results were obtained by rotating the polarization axis of the linearly polarized synchrotron radiation. With this method high-precision measurements of {beta} are possible, showing significant deviations between experiment and theoretical calculations. This gives strong evidence for the importance of intrachannel and interchannel electron correlations for the photoionization processes of Kr.
