Abstract
An overview of the basic experimental setups that have been used for atomic collision experiments involving electron, atom, and ion beams is given. Starting from angle-integrated measurements with unpolarized beams without observation of the collision partners after the scattering, the level of detail is increased step by step, resulting in angle-differential setups, preparation of polarized beams, coincidence techniques, and polarization analysis after the collision. Special emphasis is given to “time-reversed” studies involving laser-prepared targets.

Notes
- 1.
In terms of the magnetic sublevel cross sections \(\sigma _{M_L}\), the total excitation cross section is given by \(\sigma = \sigma _0+ 2\sigma _1\). Due to the averaging over the azimuthal angle of the collision plane, one finds \(I \propto \sigma _0+ \sigma _1\) for the light intensity perpendicular to the beam. This implies that \(\sigma \propto I/(1-P_\mathrm{T})\).
