title: Monocentric close-coupling expansion to provide ejected electron distributions for ionization In atomic collisions
abstract: A new monocentric close-coupling expansion, in terms of spherical Bessel functions confined in a finite box, is presented and implemented for &pmacr;+H(1s) collisions. Besides total ionization cross sections, this method also provides reliable ejected electron distributions, which are beyond the scope of usual close-coupling expansions and basically confirm the recent classical description of Illescas and Riera [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 3029 (1998)].
