Abstract
Measurements have been made of the A2 spin asymmetry in the scattering of polarised electrons from rubidium atoms. Results have been taken at an incident energy of 15, 20, 30, 50 and 80eV for elastic scattering, and at 15, 20, 30 and 50eV for 5S to 5P excitation where the fine structure has not been resolved. The measurements covered the angular range 30° to 110°. Results were taken using a crossed beam type experiment, with a hemispherical electrostatic detector. Polarised electrons were provided by a conventional gallium arsenide spin-polarised electron source. The Rmatrix and relativistic distorted wave calculations ...
