Abstract

This paper presents a detailed theoretical description of the triple (e, γ1, γ2) coincidences in the decay of 3D states of helium initially excited by electron impact. Coincidence intensities for all possible experimental settings including various linear and circular polarization analyses were calculated with the aid ofMathematica, an algebraic computing package.
