A. Dorn et al., ANGULAR ANISOTROPY OF AUTOIONIZATION ELECTRONS FROM SODIUM ATOMS SIMULTANEOUSLY EXCITED BY LASER AND ELECTRON-BEAMS, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(16), 1994, pp. 120000529-120000534
First measurements of the angular distributions of autoionization elec
trons from 2p(5)3s3p2D5/2 state of Na atom excited by electron impact
from the ground and laser excited 3p2P3/2 state are reported. Strong a
nisotropy of the angular distribution is revealed, which has different
signs for the excitation from the ground and excited states. Theoreti
cal analysis based on the Born approximation is given.
