Scattering of alkali halides by electrons. II. CsCl

Scattering of CsCl by 0.47–15.7 eV electrons has been measured using the molecular beam recoil technique. Center of mass differential cross section models are adjusted to the scattering after transformation to apparatus space. Absolute total cross sections, approximately equal to the first Born approximation point dipole prediction at 15.7 eV, fall to one-fourth of the theory at 0.47 eV. Momentum transfer cross sections are dramatically smaller than the theory at low energies.
