12. Here, in the interest of clarity, we have preferred to write d2 Ï b ba B1 /d Ep d Ωp rather than d2 Ï b ba B1 /dEd Ωp used in. By conservation of energy, Eq. 8 8, d Ep =âd Ee, so the generic use of dE is unambiguous and consistent with its use in the TDCS 4. However, at the DDCS and SDCS levels we believe that it is clearer to specifically write d Ep or d Ee rather than the generic dE.

16. We adopt the usual notation: n (l) (m) =principal (orbital) (magnetic) quantum number; s=spin variable; ζ sz =spin function, ζ1/2 =α (spin up), and ζâ1/2 =Î (spin down).

22. Here we use the notation ve rather than vT of Sec. 3 for the electron ionized from the target since now this is the electron that is being observed.
