The values of the effective scattering angle of a relativistic electron beam injected through an anode foil are analyzed by different methods in the light of reported values for various beam-plasma heating experiments. Wide variations in calculated are noted depending on the method used. It is argued that the /sup 1//sup ///sup 2/ expression corrected for Moliere screening and the (1/e) equivalent from the Monte Carlo code give nearly the same average scattering angle and one of them should be used to determine . It is also seen that a small variation in alters significantly the plasma temperature estimate.
