S. Varro et F. Ehlotzky, REMARK ON POLARIZATION EFFECTS IN SMALL-ANGLE ELECTRON-SCATTERING BY HELIUM-ATOMS IN A CO2-LASER FIELD, Physics letters. A, 203(4), 1995, pp. 203-208
Referring to recent experiments by Wallbank and Holmes [Phys. Rev. A 4
8 (1993) R2515; J. Phys. B 27 (1994) 1221] on small angle, low energy
electron scattering by helium atoms in a CO2 laser field, we investiga
te the possible influence of laser-induced target polarization and sta
tistical fluctuations of the laser light on the observed non-linear cr
oss section data.
