(e,2e) spectroscopy

Abstract: Most of our knowledge of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules is derived from excitation energies and transition probabilities. These observable quantities are related to the electronic wave functions by integrals over unmeasured variables. Another observable more directly related to the wave function than energy or transition probability is the single-electron momentum density, the probability that an electron in a well-defined orbital has a given value of momentum. Over the last twenty years a tec… Show more

“…Note that the above equations (2) and (3) provide a formally exact depiction of (e, 2e) cross sections in the high-energy limit (E 0 >> 1 keV) ensuring the so-called EMS conditions [48,49,64,50] As EMS, one-particle Green's Function (1p-GF) theory [52] enables a direct mapping, and this within an exact many-body framework, of vertical ionization energies and Dyson orbitals.…”

“…Indeed, unlike other fields with strong correlations effects, like particle or condensed matter physics, it is now possible in nuclear physics to state that the properties of the constituent protons inside the nucleus are identified experimentally and understood in global terms theoretically. For atoms and molecules it is also possible to extract this kind of information by employing the corresponding (e,2e) reaction [275,276]. This reaction generates the best possible information on the properties of individual electrons in these systems.…”
