High-accuracy Compton profile of molecular hydrogen from explicitly correlated Gaussian wave function

Abstract
The electron momentum distribution for molecular hydrogen is calculated from an explicitly correlated Gaussian wave function corresponding to the total energy of - 1.17442 a.u. and accounting for 99.9% of the correlation energy. The high-accuracy Compton profile obtained confirms the results of recent high-energy electron-impact spectroscopy measurements of Lee, but disagrees in the region of very small momentum with earlier x-ray Compton-scattering data.
