Recoil-ion momentum spectroscopy kinematics

In Section III we discuss the applicability of these models for kinematically complete experiments on target single ionization in ion-atom collisions, which have been performed using the technique of recoil-ion momentum spectroscopy. The examples illustrated will include the pioneering experiments [2,4,5] of... 

Electron momentum spectroscopy (McCarthy and Weigold, 1991) is based on ionisation experiments at incident energies of the order of 1000 eV, where the plane-wave impulse approximation is roughly valid. The differential cross section is measured for each ion state over a range of ion recoil momentum p from about 0 to 2.5 a.u. Noncoplanar-symmetric kinematics is the usual mode. In such experiments the distorted-wave impulse approximation turns out to be a sufficiently-refined theory. Checks of this based on a generally-valid sum rule will be described.
