Abstract
A general formalism for the description of spin and angular momentum p rojection sensitive (e,2e) processes valid for all electron energies i s proposed. Using the relativistic distorted-wave Born approximation, a reasonable description of a recent (e,2e) experiment with spin-polar ized relativistic electrons [H.-Th. Print, K.-H. Besch, and W. Nakel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 243 (1995)] is obtained. A detailed numerical stu dy of spin-sensitive (e,2e) processes on inner-shell states of high-Z atoms is presented.
