Higher-order effects in the angular distribution of photoelectrons A. Kövér 3rd Japan-Hungarian Joint Seminar Debrecen, October 9, 2007

The investigation of the angular distribution of photoionization gives detailed information on Electronic structure of atoms Electronic structure of atoms Correlation between the different ionization channels Correlation between the different ionization channels

Double Differential Cross Section of photoelectron for linearly polarized photons: σ nl is the cross section of photoionisation, β, γ, δ are the anisotropy parameters of the dipole and non-dipole interactions (for s-shells δ =0) P 2 is the second order Legendre polynomial kE The θ, Φ are the polar and azimuth angle relative to the electric vector and relative to the k, E plane, respectively.

In the last decade: Intensive theoretical investigations were carried out to determine the the non-dipole contributions to determine the the non-dipole contributions at low energies. at low energies.
