Abstract
Detailed calculations using a modified distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) are carried out for the triple differential cross section (TDCS) in the coplanar symmetric single ionization of calcium and argon atoms. The effects of residual ion polarization on the TDCS are investigated systematically. Our results show that the residual ion polarization, arising from the interaction between the target ion and the two outgoing electrons in the final state, may lead to a considerable change in the TDCS with a more pronounced effect in the large scattering angle region at intermediate energies. The present attempt significantly improves the agreement between theoretical and experimental results.
