Triple differential cross sections for the double photoionization of H2

Phys Rev Lett. 2007 Apr 13;98(15):153001. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.153001. Epub 2007 Apr 9.

Abstract

Triple differential cross sections arising from the break up of the H2 molecule by a single photon are presented. The time-dependent close-coupling technique is used to calculate differential cross sections for various geometries. Excellent agreement is found between current work and recent exterior complex-scaling calculations, confirming, for the first time, the absolute magnitude of the triple differential cross sections. Our calculations also compare favorably with recent synchrotron light source measurements.
