B. Paripas et al., Research on electron impact inner-shell ionization by means of the measurement of post-collision interaction, NUCL INST B, 154(1-4), 1999, pp. 209-213
The distortion effects of the post-collision interaction (PCI) in argon L2,
3M2,3M2,3 Auger electron spectra following the electron impact inner-shell
ionization of argon are studied in a wide energy range. The accurate measur
ements of these distortions are compared with theoretical calculations base
d on the model of Sheinerman et al. (S.A. Sheinennan, W. Kuhn, W. Mehlhorn,
J. Phys. B 27 (1994) 5681). An excellent agreement between theory and expe
riment was found. Moreover, the existence of a not vanishing PCI shift in t
he high-energy region is confirmed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
