Abstract
It has been well established that the Coulomb force alone can produce spin-dependent effects for electron-impact excitation of heavy rare-ga s atoms if the incident electrons are spin polarized and the final J s tate of the atom is resolved. This effect has become known as the fine -structure effect. Here we demonstrate that the same type of effect ma y be expected for electron-impact ionization.
