摘要: Radiation emitted from excited atomic states of the heavier rare gases is depolarized due to influence non-zero nuclear spin. In previous analyses electron-photon angular correlation data for krypton and xenon this depolarization has not been considered. It shown that parameters describing nascent charge cloud in collision can be obtained existing relationships after effect hyperfine on amplitudes measured correlations taken into account. Corrected electron impact excitation 4p5(2P12/)5s'1P1 4p5(2P32/)5s3P1 at 60 eV are presented. The observation significant spin effects scattering angles >or=35 degrees which inconsistent with theoretical predictions discussed.
