Abstract
The state-to-state (exchange) interference of the autoionizing resonances of helium is studied in (e,2e) experiments. These studies are disturbed by the coincidence events caused by the direct ionization, so their decrease is desirable. For this reason, to mimic the experimental observation, we performed four-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo calculations. The calculations were done for 93.15 eV primary energy, where the exchange interference of the 2s2(1S) and 2p2(1D) autoionizing states of helium is expected. The yields of non-coincidence and coincidence events detected in various combinations of scattering geometry were calculated and compared with the experimental observations.
