Experimental and theoretical investigation of excitation cadmium atoms 51P 1 state by electron impact

Mariusz Piwiński, D. Dziczek, Rajesh Srivastava +1 more

We present our first experimental results of reduced Stokes parameters and electron impact coherence parameters (EICP) for incident electron energy of 60 eV. The electron-photon coincidence technique has been used in measurements for scattering angles 10° and 15°. The experimental data are compared with theoretical results of relativistic distorted wave approximation calculations.

Coherence analysis of the He 1s4f state

Jingbo B. Wang, C M Maloney, D. H. Madison

In this paper, we present the first theoretical calculation of the Stokes parameters for the singlet-triplet mixed 1s4f state of helium, which is excited coherently by electron impact. Satisfactory agreement with recent measurements is obtained.

Complete experiments in electron–atom impact excitation: present status and future prospects

N. Andersen, Klaus Bartschat

An overview is given of the present understanding of excitation in electron–atom collisions, with particular emphasis on the extent to which a "perfect scattering experiment" in the Bederson sense has been achieved. Recent experimental and theoretical results are put into a common framework, generalizing the ideas and systematics, presented in a review paper, of the case of excitation by spin-polarized electron beams. For various levels of complexity, complete sets of coherence parameters are suggested, and their relationships to generalized Stokes parameters and generalized STU parameters are pointed out.

Electronic excitation of P-state of cadmium and zinc atoms

Mariusz Piwiński, Łukasz Kłosowski, D. Dziczek +1 more

The electron-photon coincidence technique in coherence analysis version was used to study the electron impact excitation of first excited 1 P 1 states of cadmium and zinc atoms. The experimental results of the Stokes and Electron Impact Coherence Parameters (EICPs) for various collision energies are compared and presented alongside CCC and RDWA theoretical predictions.
