Angular Dependence of the Characteristic Energy Loss of Electrons Passing Through Metal Foils
Abstract
The Bohm-Pines electron plasma theory is employed to give a theoretical interpretation of some experimental results of Marton et al. on the scattering of 20-kev electrons by a thin gold foil. General criteria are presented which can in principle select in any given case between the alternative mechanisms of collective excitation or one-electron excitation. For the general case of collective excitation the scattering law is derived and used in a numerical analysis of the experimental data. Agreement with the Bohm-Pines theory is satisfactory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
