Abstract

A progress report of the recent investigations carried out by Khare and his associates for the electron impact inner-shell ionisation of atoms and outer-shell ionisation of molecules, in the energy range varying from ionisation threshold to 1 GeV, is presented. The new method of Khare et al [19] is compared with the methods developed by Kim and Rudd [16]. The present ionisation cross sections of the hydrogen atom are compared with those obtained by Kim and Rudd and the experimental data of Saha et al [20].
