Abstract
A new high-energy spectrometer for the coincident detection of both outgoing electrons in an electron impact ionization, or (e, 2e), experiment is described. The absolute triple differential cross section can be measured with this instrument to a precision of 10%. Selected results on rare gases are presented, demonstrating the ability of the spectrometer to either probe the target structure in impulsive or binary (e,2e) experiments, or to test the scattering mechanism in nonimpulsive conditions, both for valence or inner shells.Keywords
