Differential electron scattering cross sections for inelastic excitation of an ion have been measured for the first time. Experiments were carried out in a crossed electron-ion--beam geometry for the 4 /sup 2/S..-->..4 /sup 2/P transition in Zn II at 75 eV. In addition, differential cross sections were calculated at energies between 15 and 100 eV in a five-state close-coupling approximation in which 4s, 4p, 3d/sup 9/4s/sup 2/, 5s, and 4d states were included. Agreement in shape between theory and experiment at 75 eV is excellent.
