Abstract

Recent experimental results of the NIST, Flinders and Münster groups on superelastic scattering of intermediate-energy polarized electrons from laser-excited polarized and unpolarized sodium atoms have been analyzed theoretically together with those on inelastic scattering data. Based on the Persival-Seaton hypothesis specific model-independent relations between correlation and polarization parameters measured in superelastic scattering experiments of different types have been suggested. The differential cross section as well as the parametersL ⊥,L S(T) ⊥, γ,r, and\(\bar S\) A (J) for the 32S⇔32 P transition in a broad range of scattering angels have been calculated within the distorted-wave approximation. Problem of constructing the e + Na optical potential is discussed.
