Experimental investigation of electron impact excitation of zinc atoms to the 4~1P_1 state

摘要

Polarization analysis version of the electron-photon coincidence technique was applied to completely determine quantum state of zinc atoms excited to the 4~1P_1 state by electron impact. We report first experimental values of Stokes parameters and Electron Impact Coherence Parameters (EICPs) for incident electron energy 80 eV.
