Initial tests of possible second-Born--term source of asymmetry in forward electron ejection by fast bare nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The shapes of continuum capture cusps arising from ejection of target electrons by 15--18 a.u. velocity Ar/sup 18 +/ nuclei traversing He, Ne, and Ar are investigated. Observed asymmetries are compared to the second-Born-term asymmetry conjecture by Shakeshaft and Spruch, and to the alternative, first-Born-term asymmetry counter-conjecture by Chan and Eichler. Present evidence favors the former conjecture.
