“…The model predicts zero spin asymmetries in the limit of negligible exchange, and in analogy to the "Fine-structure Effect" in excitation [10,11], zero spin asymmetry for the case where the individual finestructure transitions are energetically unresolved. Subsequent measurements on xenon [12,13] and later, more sophisticated calculations [14,15], while confirming a strong spin-dependence in the ionization cross sections as originally predicted, have revealed additional and significant contributions from many-body exchange effects which tend to mask the signatures for a "pure" fine-structure effect. Notwithstanding this fact, that [9] predicts zero spin asymmetry in the absence of exchange means that the spin asymmetry parameter is a very sensitive test of the role and nature of electron exchange in electron-impact-induced ionizing collisions, and a sensitive test to the magnitude of contributions from relativistic effects which can also contribute to a nonzero result, even in the absence of exchange.…”
