Abstract
We report triply differential measurements of atomic hydrogen ionization by 17.6-eV electrons, with the outgoing electrons both having 2 eV energy. These measurements supersede some of the existing data. The complete set is critically analyzed and is found to be much more internally consistent than before, thereby providing one of the most stringent tests for theory to date. Comparison with the calculations from the exterior complex scaling and convergent close-coupling theories shows excellent overall agreement in both shapes and magnitude.Keywords
