Scattering of CsF by Electrons

Abstract
Absolute differential and total cross sections for the scattering of CsF by 0.6- to 6.5- eV electrons have been measured using the molecular-beam recoil technique. The first-Born-approximation differential cross section is used as the theoretical model to fit the data. The experimental differential cross sections rise more sharply near 0° than predicted. Total cross sections derived from our measurements are a factor of 1.5 to 4 smaller than the first-approximation results.
