Y. Li et Pw. Zetner, TRANSFERRED ORBITAL ANGULAR-MOMENTUM IN THE EXCITATION OF BA-138( ...6S6P 6(1)P(1)) BY ELECTRON-IMPACT, Physical review. A, 49(2), 1994, pp. 950-955
We have determined the L(perpendicular to) coherence parameter for ele
ctron-impact excitation of the (...6s6p 6(1)P(1)) state in Ba-138 by m
easuring the superelastic scattering of electrons from laser-excited B
a-138. Three electron-impact energies were studied and the scattering-
angle coverage in each case was sufficient to allow the observation of
pronounced structure in the angular behavior of this parameter. We al
so present a detailed comparison;of our results with available theory.
