All these FDCS haveE1 = E2 = 12.5 10 eV:
Therefore KER effects are not overly sensitiveto electron energies.

Why is Why is NN ~ 20º (or 160 º) so critical ~ 20º (or 160 º) so critical
to observe these KER effects?to observe these KER effects?FDCS is the coherent sum of and components.
We extract the and components, and cross term contributions, in TDCC FDCS.
At N = 20º, both componentsmake significant contributions to the FDCS. Only the component displaysan appreciable dependence on R.
Changes in sign (and shape) ofthe cross term with R ‘amplifies’ the small changes with R of thepure component. R

R = 1.6 (upper) and 1.2 (lower).
Why does the only the Why does the only the amplitude have amplitude have
an angular dependence sensitive to an angular dependence sensitive to RR?? Magnitude of the amplitudedecreases monotonically with R. Whereas amplitude has ashallow minimum near R0.
This same behaviour is also seenin the photoionisation of H2
+.
Hence it is a feature of the axiallysymmetric nuclear potential,rather than electron correlation.

Summary and ConclusionsSummary and Conclusions
Excellent agreement between TDCC and experiment.
Dramatic changes in coplanar FDCS for N ~20, 160º with internuclear separation, R, due to interference between and components, whose contributions have similar magnitudes at these N values.
Only component has R dependence: larger (1,2) are necessary for convergence of the TDCC amplitude than for particularly for large R.
By our analogy with H2+, main R-dependent
trends of the and amplitudes observed
in PDI of H2 are due to electron-ion ratherthan electron-electron interactions.
