Electron scattering from Kr. I. Differential cross section for elastic scattering

Abstract

Differential cross sections have been measured for elastic scattering of electrons from Kr. Measurements have been performed at impact energies of 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150 and 200 eV in the angular range from 10 to 125'. Absolute values of the differential cross section have been obtained by means of the relative flow method. Integral and momentum transfer cross sections have been derived from the measured data by extrapolating to 0 and 180 degrees scattering angles. Comparison was made between the present results and those from other experiments and theoretical calculations.
