We have investigated the electron impact single ionization of the hydrogen molecule, with fully determined kinematics. The experimental and theoretical results are compared with He ionization under the same conditions. The results indicate that the ejected electron angular distribution for H2 is modified due to Young-type interference between ionization amplitudes for scattering from the two centers in the hydrogen molecule. The observable result is a suppression of the backward scattering (recoil) peak compared with the binary peak.

Analytical models proposed to represent the two-electron continuum are revisited. Main results obtained with these models are summarized. Recent studies of the photo-double-ionization (PDI) of the He-isoelectronic sequence by means of the recently introduced SC3 model are shown and compared with the results predicted by classical and semi-classical Wannier approaches. By fitting the triply differential cross sections (TDCSs) with the usual dipolar Gaussian form we find that the width has a power dependence on excess energy with exponent 0.25 in the near threshold region and departs from this law with increasing energy
