    Abstract

    We present a joint experimental and theoretical study for the fully differential cross section of the photo double ionization (PDI) of helium with linearly polarized light at the excess energies Eexc = 100 eV and 450 eV above the threshold. The fully differential cross section is obtained by measuring the three-dimensional momentum vectors of one electron and the He 2+ ion in coincidence using the COLTRIMS method. We give an overview of the momentum distribution of the three-body continuum 100 eV above the threshold. We show angular distributions for both electrons for various energy sharings at Eexc = 100 eV and 450 eV. The experimental results are well reproduced by a set of convergent close-coupling (CCC) calculations.
