Discrepancy between theory and experiment in double ionization of helium by fast electrons
We compute fully differential cross sections for double ionization of helium by electrons, within the high-impact-energy and low-momentum transfer regimes, using the generalized Sturmian functions approach. Our results are converged relative to the total angular momentum and variable domain size. Th...
