SCATTERING OF POLARIZED ELECTRONS BY A COULOMB FIELD

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.
In this work some equations, concerning the crosssection and polarization of a fermion beam scattered by a central field, are obtained by means of the density matrix formalism. These equations are applied to the case of electrons scattered in a Coulomb field. The precession of the polarization is given as a function of velocity for some values of the parameters. The double scattering experiment in orthogonal planes is discussed as a technique for evaluating the longitudinal component of the electron polarization. (auth)
