Large-angle scattering of energetic electrons from Xe: A combined theoretical and experimental approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the inelastic excitations of Xe for electrons with relatively high energies (500 or 750 eV) scattered over large angles, both experimentally and theoretically. In particular, we focus on the shape and intensity of the spectra of inelastically scattered electrons at the sharp dip in the elastic cross section near 135◦ at 750 eV. Under these conditions, the first Born approximation predicts virtually zero intensity. However, in reality, measurable intensity is observed. Calculations carried out using the relativistic distorted-wave method describe the measurements reasonably well. A comparison is made between the calculations and previously published high-resolution studies. Overall agreement is quite good, especially for the lowest-energy excitations, but substantial differences are found for certain higher levels. The theory reproduces quite well the variations in intensity of the inelastic excitations for measurements near the dip in the elastic-scattering cross section, somewhat surprisingly, as the theories for elastic scattering and inelastic scattering are developed along completely different lines.

Electron scattering from Xe: the relation between the differential elastic cross section and shape and intensity of the energy loss spectra
The measurement of the energy loss spectra of energetic electrons scattered from Xe over large angles is reported. The incoming energy was chosen between 600 eV and 1550 eV. The calculated Xe elastic scattering cross section has a sharp minimum for 750 eV electrons near 135◦. This minimum is confirmed by studying a Xe–H2 mixture and separating their elastic peak based on the recoil effect. The ...

Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...

In this project, the Faddeev-Watson-Lovelace (FWL) formalism is generalized to large scattering angles. The angular range includes 0-180 degrees. Using this method, the charge transfer differential cross-sections are calculated, in a second-order approximation, for collision of energetic positrons and electrons with neutral positronium atoms. In this approximation, the rearrangement amplitude c...
متن کاملNonlinear interaction of energetic electrons with large amplitude chorus
[1] The effect of large amplitude chorus on energetic, radiation-belt electrons is evaluated using a general, relativistic, oblique, test-particle code. Three specific cases are examined: (A) Low-amplitude waves interacting at lowlatitudes exhibit the expected, linear scattering which leads to large-scale diffusive behavior. (B) Large-amplitude waves interacting at low-latitudes result in monot...
متن کاملLarge-angle electron diffraction structure in laser-induced rescattering from rare gases.
We have measured full momentum images of electrons rescattered from Xe, Kr, and Ar following the liberation of the electrons from these atoms by short, intense laser pulses. At high momenta the spectra show angular structure (diffraction) which is very target dependent and in good agreement with calculated differential cross sections for the scattering of free electrons from the corresponding i...
