Abstract
We calculate various differential and double differential characteristics of ionization by a single photon for H−, He and for the two-electron ions with Z = 3, 4, 5 in the region of the so-called quasi-free mechanism (QFM) domination. We employ highly accurate wave functions at the electron-electron coalescence line where coordinates of both ionized electrons coincide. We trace the Z dependence of the double differential distributions. For all considered targets we discuss the dependence of the photoelectron energy distribution on the photon energy. Our calculation demonstrated the rapid decrease of QFM contribution with increase of the difference in energy of two outgoing electrons, and with decrease of the angle between two outgoing momenta. As a general feature, we observe the decrease of QFM contribution with nuclear charge growth.
