The second Born approximation is applied to study the (e, 2e) reaction for H2 targets. The results of this approximation are compared to a new set of experimental data obtained at about 600 eV impact energy, as well as to previous experiments performed at larger (~4 keV) or smaller (250 eV) energy. Several single-centre wavefunctions are used to describe the initial state and excited states of the molecule. A generally good agreement is obtained with the experiments and with recent calculations.
