Popis: The valence shell binding energy spectra and orbital electron momentum profiles of O have been measured by energy 2 dispersive multichannel electron momentum spectroscopy at an impact energy of 1200 eVq binding energy. The effects of electron correlation on the valence binding energy spectrum are investigated using multi-reference singles and doubles configuration interaction calculations. The presently reported experimental momentum profiles of O display considerably 2 improved statistics compared with previously published EMS results. The measured momentum profiles are compared with cross sections calculated using both unrestricted and restricted open shell Hartree-Fock methods with basis sets ranging from minimal to near Hartree-Fock limit in quality. In addition, the effects of correlation and relaxation on the calculated momentum profiles are investigated using multi-reference singles and doubles configuration interaction calculations of the full ion-neutral overlap distributions. Electron correlation effects in the ground state are further examined using several density functional approaches for the momentum profiles. The present EMS measurements and MRSD-CI calculations clearly show that the binding energy peak at ; 27.3 eV has significant contributions from both 4 S y and 2 S y processes in uu contrast to earlier assignments which have attributed this peak to the C 2 S y state alone. Similarly, the binding energy peak at u 33 eV is shown to be due to 2 S y rather than earlier assignments of 2 P character. q 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights uu reserved.
