description

The angular dependence of spin polarisationP(θ) of electrons elastically scattered by noble gas atomic beams is measured in a double-scattering experiment for electron energies between 40 and 150 eV and over an angular range fromθ=30‡ toθ=150‡. Maximum degree of polarisation measured isP=+ 39.5%±2.6% (Xe; 150eV;θ=60‡). The results are compared with the theoretical values ofCoulthard, which agree approximately with the measurements only for Xenon. For all lower atomic numbers the experimental values are higher than the theoretical ones.
