Abstract
A set of parameters describing electron-impact ionization from laser-aligned atoms are reported, which define the “length”, “width”, and “direction” of the quadruple differential cross section (QDCS) as a function of target alignment for fixed ingoing electron momentum and outgoing momenta , . was used, with , , , and in the same plane. The parameters are derived for a range of angles, with set at 30° to . The QDCS is then determined for all . The parameters are very angle sensitive, the QDCS direction varying more than 90° as the length to width ratio varied more than an order of magnitude.
