Analysis of relativistic (e,2e) experiments in coplanar asymmetric geometry

Triply differential cross sections and spin asymmetries for (e,2e) reactions on the 1s1/2 state of intermediate- and high-Z atoms in coplanar asymmetric geometries are analyzed within the framework of the relativistic distorted wave Born approximation. Specific signatures of the relativistic nature of the electron-electron interaction, and of the electron-residual ion interaction, are identified
