The ionization of Mg 3s and 2p and He 1s has been studied in (e, 2e) experiments at about 1000 eV incident energy and 20 eV ejected electron energy for a momentum transfer between 0.5 and 2.1 au. The comparison with the predictions of the distorted wave Born approximation model shows a generally good agreement between experiment and theory. The differences observed between the He and Mg angular distributions can be explained as an initial state effect and are attributed to the differences between the He 1s and Mg 3s wavefunctions in the momentum space.
