Abstract

Electron Compton scattering effects usually lead to the determination of momentum densities in atoms and molecules by cross‐section measurements on scattered electrons. Similar information is also shown to be directly available from the study of ejected electrons. The proposed treatment results from a simple alteration of the impulse assumptions and appears to give a satisfactory representation of ejected profiles for medium and high energy electron scattering. Preliminary investigations are discussed here for hydrogen and helium atoms.
