Nls. Martin et al., (E,2E) ANGULAR-DISTRIBUTIONS AND ENERGY-SPECTRA IN CADMIUM, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 29(19), 1996, pp. 4457-4464
Existing (e, 2e) angular distribution measurements and (e,2e) energy s
pectra in atomic cadmium are reviewed and a major difference in the an
alyses of me two data sets is highlighted. It is shown that an autoion
izing level, previously postulated to explain the angular distribution
data does not exist, and is an artefact of the simplifying assumption
s used in the original analysis. A new calculation is presented which
unifies the interpretation of the measured angular distributions and t
he energy spectra.
