Abstract: Accurate total ( elastic and inelastic) X-ray scattering cross-sections sigma(ee)(q) of N-2, CO and O-2 were measured by the use of the energy dispersive method up to a momentum transfer of q = 12 au. The radial electron pair distribution function P(r(12)) was extracted from the cross-sections. The Coulomb hole, defined as the difference between the exact P(r(12)) and the corresponding function evaluated at the Hartree-Fock limit, has been derived from experimental data for the first time. Comparison of multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) and averaged quadratic coupled cluster (MR-AQCC) calculations indicates substantial shortcomings of MRCI due to the lack of size extensivity. The overall agreement with experiment is good but some differences between the theoretical and experimental results remain.
