Le. Machado et al., COHERENCE PARAMETERS, SPIN-ASYMMETRY AND SPIN-POLARIZATION FUNCTIONS FOR ELECTRON-IMPACT EXCITATION OF NEON, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(14), 1994, pp. 3139-3157
Electron impact coherence parameters and fine-structure-effect spin-as
ymmetry and spin-polarization functions are reported for electron impa
ct excitation of the first few low-lying excited states of Ne. First-o
rder many-body theory was used in these calculations. Our results are
in good agreement with recent experimental results for the Stokes para
meters P1, P2 and P3 in the small scattering angle region.
