Polarization correlation study of the electron-impact excitation of neon and argon
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The recent development of a circular polarization analyzer for the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region has enabled a Stokes parameter analysis to be carried out for the excitation of neon and argon by 80-eV incident electrons. The results show that the transfer of angular momentum to the atom is positive and is in fact surprisingly ''heliumlike.'' Small deviations from total coherence were observed and are discussed.
