A fully differential cross section for single ionization of helium induced by 1 MeV proton impact is calculated using the parabolic convoluted quasi-Sturmian (CQS) method. In the framework of this approach the transition amplitude is extracted directly from the asymptotic behavior of the solution of an inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation for the Coulomb three-body system (e−,He+,p+). The driven equation is solved numerically by expanding in convolutions of quasi-Sturmians for the two-body proton-He+ and electron-He+ systems. It is found, at least in the high energy limit, that the calculated cross sections within the proposed CQS method converge quickly as the number of terms in the expansions is increased, and are in reasonable agreement with experimental data and other theoretical results.
