(e,2e) measurements for Ar(2p) ionization under highly asymmetric
kinematics are presented. The kinematics correspond to a low momentum
transfer of 0.5 a.u., however despite this the cross section is not
symmetric about the momentum transfer direction, K. The results are
compared with first Born and distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA)
calculations. The two calculations both predict symmetry about K, in
disagreement with what is experimentally observed. It is suggested that a
new mechanism must be invoked to explain the data.
