A study of inelastic electron scattering in He covering the complete angular range from to

Abstract: Differential cross sections for electron impact excitation of the first four excited states of helium have been measured for electron impact energies of 30, 40 and 50 eV. A novel `magnetic angle-changing' technique has been used which allows the full angular range from to to be covered for the first time. Serious discrepancies between theory and experiment have been found at angles that were previously inaccessible experimentally.

“…This Magnetic Angle Changing (MAC) device has now successfully been used in elastic and inelastic angular cross section studies from a number of different targets [21][22][23][24][25] and has also been used in (e,2e) ionization studies in a coplanar asymmetric geometry [26][27][28].…”

“…One solution to this problem, developed by Cubric et al [5], is to incorporate a softiron core within the solenoids of the MAC. This significantly increases the magnetic field in the device, and hence greatly extends the range of electron energies that can be used.…”
