Abstract

Since the initial electron-photon coincidence and superelastic scattering experiments showed that substantial transfers of angular momentum between incident electrons and target atoms could occur, apart from stimulating much theoretical activity to develop better quantum mechanical scattering calculations, several classical/semi-classical models have also been developed. In this paper, new experimental results from electron inelastic scattering from the laser excited 32 P 3/2 state of sodium has provided a further test of scattering theories, including a very recent convergent close coupling calculation.
