Muon production in low-energy electron-nucleon and electron-nucleus scattering

Multiple scattering in low-energy electron holography

The theory of the low-energy electron point source (LEEPS) microscope is reformulated in matrix form to readily account for multiple scattering. An algorithm is developed for the storage of the structure matrix and an iterative method is used to solve the matrix equation for the structure factor. Examples of small and large clusters of atoms are given to compare single and multiple scattering. ...

Electron-and Neutrino-nucleus Scattering

I review the main features of the nuclear response extracted from electron scattering data. The emerging picture clearly shows that the shell model does not provide a fully quantitative description of nuclear dynamics. On the other hand, many body approaches in which correlation effetcs are explicitely taken into account lead to a satisfactory account of electron scattering observables. The pos...

Low-energy electron scattering by N2O

We present elastic integral, differential, and momentum-transfer cross sections for electron collisions with N2O. We show that, with a slight modification of a method of incorporating polarization effects proposed recently by us Winstead, McKoy, and Bettega, Phys. Rev. A 72, 042721 2005 along with a flexible one-particle basis set, we can reproduce features in the experimental data that were no...

Low energy electron scattering from CH3Cl

Low - energy elastic electron scattering by acetylene

Acetylene, C2H2, is a prototypical molecule in several respects. As a readily available gas and one of the smallest and most symmetric polyatomic molecules, it is amenable to both experimental and computational study. It is the smallest member of the important family of unsaturated hydrocarbons and is isoelectronic with N2, having in common with those molecules both a bonding πu orbital and an ...
